It would be nice to have a way of creating a "hidden" gallery that can be found by using a "hard-to-find" url that is generated and that can be send to friends/family who don't have to login to see this private gallery.

An extension of this principle in terms of usability would be to be able to have a "send this gallery's url to" box where you could add email addresses. This could generate a different URL for each email so you could get information on who followed the link or make the comments attributed to that "user".

I can file a different ticket for this if you want...

The general idea is to find ways to have users interact without having to log on to the site.

hello did this feature ever make it? piwigo seems like a great gallery, but I won't be able to convince my family to use accounts, and I don't want to make my photos public :(
