I already have most of the photos I need for Gallery on my web server.
It is a simple matter for me to copy these photo folders across to the Gallery 3's var directory.
Trouble is, Gallery 3 does not see them.

I have tried using serveradd but this only seems to allow individual photos to be added, one at a time. And I have thousands.

Why can we neither do manual filling of the var directory nor serveradd filling of it in one instruction ?

Using serveradd settings, I can create a path to the directories I want to install into albums.
Somehow I managed to get one folder of 40 photos read into an album.
But I cannot repeat this trick with other albums in my photos directory.
I just sees these directories as empty, cf. screenshot attached.

Sorted.

My web server did not like heavy volumes of files copied from one location to another.
So when commanded to move GBs of photos it just copied the directories and sub0-directories and left the files uncopied.
Solved it by using FTP within the server to copy the photos folder into /gallery3/ folder.

Serveradd now sees all photos that are there.
