Regarding what flop25 said http://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=168920#p168920, I want to detail that Menalto Gallery2 also used smarty with tpl had some kind of template overwriting protection.
You can make a subfolder called "local" in the folder where templates are, and you could put a copy of the template you want to modify, then modify it. If "local" subfolder was detected they loaded tpl from it instead the original one.

In this way a user that make a modification to a template didn't lose his modification when making software updates.

I don't know how Piwigo extensions are loading templates, but if the extensions use a piwigo core function to load templates maybe is possible to implement this future also in Piwigo.

That's exactly what the template-extensions/ folder and Admin -> Configuration -> Templates is for, not?
