Once you (or someone you have invited to view your pictures) has
logged in, FotoTime displays your default album on the right, and
a tree on the left which allows you to change albums or groups.
Albums are the highest level of grouping and have a bullet next to
them. Groups can be put in albums and can pare down you
pictures even further. Click on an album or group to see the
