Re: No visible public albums

Guy,

Very good detective work.

That's by design.

Yes, that's the culprit. Pixory frequently checks to make sure that
the album you are trying to get to is still under the "image root".
This is a safety mechanism and guards against several unintended
possibilities, such as the situation where the "image root"
configuration value was changed after an URL to an album was
generated. If you are getting that message, the album definitely will
not show up on the Viewer Home page. In fact, if you get that message,
the album should be completely inaccessible to Viewers (but still
accessible to Composer).

Yes, that is the problem-- I just verified it under OS X. Your image
directory tree is not guaranteed to work through symbolic links.
