Feature request: Photo-only sharing and auto-open a single album #123
Description
Use case
I sometimes use ViTransfer to deliver a photo gallery to a client without delivering any videos. The shared project page still presents the video-focused overview, and a client has to click into the album even when there is only one.
Requested behavior
- Provide a per-project (or per-share-link) option to disable video delivery to recipients when sharing photo albums. With that option enabled, recipients should see only the photo delivery experience: no video section, video counts, video downloads, or access to project videos through that share link.
- When the only visible deliverable is a single photo album, open that album automatically when the recipient follows the share link. If multiple albums or videos are visible, keep the overview so they can choose what to open.
- Keep the existing photo viewing and download permissions for that project or recipient.
This would make a photo-only share link feel like a dedicated gallery delivery page while retaining ViTransfer's existing album features.

Hi @donutinit ,
Thanks for the request, I do not see myself working on this in the near future, but I'll keep it open as a way of tracking it.
If you do the work and submit a PR I'll might be able to look at it if its a clean merge and works as expected.
Derive the share view from what the link carries

Hi @donutinit
this is in 1.4.0 now, built from your PR in #128. photo-only delivery is a per project switch under Client Share Page, and albums open as the gallery whether or not the project also has videos.
thanks again for both the request and the implementation.
