I don't know what you expect. I use Piwigo for a lot of time now, with
<br>
success

like any software it have syntax guidelines. I can use "?" in file names
<br>
(linux), when Windows wont like them... nor piwigo. use "detox" and voilà

<br>
the problem is syncing metadata to/from web/local. It's not possible to
<br>
send or receive full image files only to sync metadata, when moving xml
<br>
files is easy and cheap. This do not prevent writing also to the images,
<br>
as I always do
