Quantity album collections

[frederic chaume]

Hi Andrew

thanks for your feedback
no issue in having one collection with 100K+ pictures  in it ?

For the "migration" I guess I just have to delete all exiting 
collections and then creating a new one based on the parent directory ? 
I suppose creating a new unique collection would take some time 
regarding the quantity of pictures , and no information will be loss 
(tags, rating, DK versions, ...) do you confirm ?

regards and happy New Year
Frederic
