Nested folders are ignored; shouldn't they be "Albums"?

Thanks for the suggestions! Some of it is bad UX, some of it just an incomplete implementation.

You're right that Album and Timeline are pretty similar. The biggest difference is that Timeline is reverse chronological (like Google Photos) and Album is chronological, meant more for events and trips, where you usually want to start at the beginning (maybe Event might be a better name?)

The Default is just a technical limitation right now, it's not a separate layout and should rather show the "default" layout that was set for the collection in the configuration.yaml.

For example, you can configure a collection that has all your the photos of your phone and set it to show as Timeline by default, and then also configure a collection for a specific vacation trip that shows as Album by default.

If you have all your events (or in the OP case wallpaper categories) as folders in a specific root dir, you can e.g. configure the root dir and then use the explode dirs option to create a collection per folder. It's not nested folders, but it's something 😅

Let me know if you have any other thoughts on it!

e.g. see the way PhotoView does it (from its Readme):

Closely tied to the file system. The website presents the images found on the local filesystem of the server, directories are mapped to albums.
