Re: Sharing problem in 3.6

Dear Joe

Obviously a new album requires a new URL - that goes without saying.

In this case, a new directory was made, the photos only were copied 
into it and pixory was then allowed to create the .album directory 
and whatever esle it does in the background.  The new URL was then 
established and attempts made to access it from an external IP.  The 
result was "You do not have access to this album".

Over to you Joe!
