do not generate nor save virtual albums if not needed about myphotoshare HOT 6 CLOSED

no, we can simply check whether there is a change in the albums, if no change do not save the virtual albums

from myphotoshare.

hmmmm... it's absolutely no simple to check whether the albums tree has changed, closing

from myphotoshare.

Perhaps we could follow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29685069/get-the-last-modified-date-of-a-directory-including-subdirectories-using-pytho#29685234 and once for all check if the last modified date of the tree is more recent than options.json modified date.

If the tree is older than options.json, we could avoid scanning the tree.

However, images with gps data added could not be detected, if they have their modified date unchanged...

no, the dir modification time is changed, so it seems to be safe

We must be sure that json files, thumbnails and reductions need no refresh, too

The only thing we could care of is that, if neither avconv nor ffmpeg are installed and one of them is subsequently installed, videos would not detected.

But the installation is supposed to be complete, so closing
