I'm looking through code of GalleryAlbumItem. I am doing an archiveupload... if the album already exists, I don't want it to create it again, just move on. |

gallery would not know if it exists.
Gallery items are identified by id. Every album could have the same title and gallery would not care.
You would have to use gallery search interface to search for an album with the title or pathComponent you're trying to avoid.
Normally if gallery came upon a duplicate the new item would get renamed.

thinking further, I'd just check for a pathCollision

out of curiousity, why would gallery want duplicate album names? I get that every album as a unique ID.
more curious behind the reasoning

I never said that. I said gallery would not care.
Items cannot have duplicate ids or pathComponents

ok... Well I uploaded files and it created the album name c015
when it created the second one ...it created ->c015_001
I just figured that if it already existed, it would use it.
It was smart enough to add _001 to the name

this is the default behavior, it you wanted to change it, then you would want to test the pathComponent.
As I said before this is a very mature application.
