I have done some reading but I still cannot work out if Gallery does what I want. Searching forums is hard because sometimes you hit old entries and are not sure if Gallery has been updated since then. Therefore could someone confirm if I can do the following please:

a) assign 1 photo to more than 1 album without having multiple copies of the file
b) assign an album as a child of more than one other album
c) manage user permissions with groups/roles so that read access can be given to 1 group of users and denied to another
d) assign view permissions to users/groups at the individual image level as well as the whole album
e) control what the public (no login) user can see
f) prevent the public user from seeing the login link

Thanks

Geoff

a) yes, that's the "create link" item action / option for
b) not really. workaround: there's the "link item" http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:Modules:linkitem feature which allows to add an album to multiple other albums as a link and you can add a thumbnail too. so for the user, there's not much of a difference, just that the link points to the other album.
c) yes.
d) yes, you've got user/group permissions not only for albums, but also for items, very granular.
e) yes, with the "everybody" group
f) with a hack / theme change, yes. but not with a configuration option.
