*If* those albums correspond to physical folders on the hard disk, the best thing might be to start from scratch: - make a backup of your current structure *and* of the current Darktable database (in case something goes wrong) - quit darktable and drop the current database, - rename the folder structure to what you want - re-import everything in Darktable. All relevant data concerning each image are normally stored within the XMP files Darktable writes. That means that edits and geotagging will be recovered on the new import (see section 2.2.7 of the manual). _______ WRT one of your other questions about creating virtual albums: that is possible (see "Collect images", section 2.3.2), but those collections are /virtual/, i.e. have no existence outside the Darktable database. What I do in a similar case: select the images to display, and "export" them in optimal resolution to a directory outside the Darktable tree (see manual section 2.3.12), dedicated to your shared data. If you are using darktable, I expect you work with raw files, so you will have to export your images anyway after editing to show them. As that directory tree and the images in it are outside Darktable's data, you can also reorganise them at a later date with no problems.
