+<p>Several ways to add your photos in your gallery:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>Direct upload</strong> inside your web browser. It is the
+ simplest and most immediate way. It depends on your browser capabilities
+ and your web server. For a high quantity of photos or in case of problem,
+ the other ways are just waiting for you!</li>
+</ul>

+
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>pLoader</strong> is desktop application, to install on your
+ computer. Drag &amp; drop photos into pLoader window, click on <em>"Upload
+ to Piwigo"</em> and let pLoader do the job. You can find other desktop
+ applications such as comme <strong>WinToPiwigo</strong> or the export
+ plugin for <strong>Digikam</strong>.</li>

+
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>FTP transfer</strong> is the most recommended way to add a
+ very large collection of photos with a minimum number of clicks. Follow
+ the guide to prepare your photos. The FTP method let you control precisely
+ the physical organization of your photos on your server.</li>

+
+ <p>Category directories are in the Piwigo directory
+ "galleries". Here follows the directory tree of a very small gallery (but
+ using many features) :</p>
+
+ <pre>
+.
+|-- admin
+|-- doc
+|-- galleries
+| |-- category-1
+| | |-- category-1.1
+| | | |-- category-1.1.1

+| +-- video.avi
+|-- include
+|-- install
+|-- language
+|-- template
++-- tool</pre>
+
+ </li>
+
+ <li>Each directory under "galleries" produces a category. There is no limit on deepness.</li>
+
+ <li>Basically, an element is represented by a file. A file can be a
+ Piwigo element if its extenstion is among <code>file_ext</code>
+ configuration parameter possibilities (see <span
+ class="filename">include/config_default.inc.php</span> file). A file can
+ be a picture if its extension is among <code>picture_ext</code>
+ configuration parameter possibilities.</li>
+
+ <li>Picture elements must have an associated thumbnail (see section below
+ about thumbnails)</li>
+
+ <li>Picture elements can have a high quality file associated. As for
+ wedding.jpg in the example above. No prefix on the high quality picture.</li>
+
+ <li>Non picture elements (video, sounds, file texts, what you want...) are
+ by default represented by an icon corresponding to the filename
+ extension. Optionaly, you can associate a thumbnail and a representative
+ file (see video.avi in the example above).</li>
+
+ <li><em>Warning</em>: the name of directories and files must contain only letters, figures, "-", "_" or ".". No blank space, no accentuated characters.</li>
+
+ <li>Once files, thumbnails and representatives are correctly placed in the
+ directories, go to : <span class="pwgScreen">Administration &raquo; Categories &raquo;
+ Synchronize</span></li>
+
+</ul>
+</fieldset>
+
+<fieldset>
+ <legend>Thumbnails</legend>
+<ul>
+
+ <li>Each photo must have its thumbnail.</li>
+
+ <li>Thumbnails are stored in the sub-directory "thumbnail" of the category
+ directory. The thumbnail has the same filename as the corresponding photo, with <em>TN-</em> as prefix.</li>
+
+ <li><em>Advise</em>: use an external module for thumbnails creation.</li>
+
+ <li>Even if it is not recommended (image quality, web server resource load), you can use <span
+ class="pwgScreen">Administration &raquo; Pictures &raquo; Thumbnails</span> page to create thumbnails.</li>
+
+ <li>Give write access on all category directories.</li>
