Is there an easy way to disable the number of files in an album being shown in the album list?
Or is the old way (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,62234.msg308797.html (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,62234.msg308797.html)) still the only way?
That's still the recommended way. A different approach (in general) is described here (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,70498.0.html).
