Description
Is there a way for me -- either through Acidfree or in combination with some other module -- to setup a navigation link that shows users all of *their* Acidfree albums, rather than every Acidfree album? I'm thinking of something along the lines of "my blog".
We're planning on deploying Drupal as a campuswide blogging tool, and it could end up with a bunch of users, each posting a bunch of albums. Having a "my albums" link would help everyone find their content more easily.

I have considered something like this to deal with the 'add photo...' links problems that have come up in the past. I thought about having each user own a 'root' album of their own that resides in the real root. But I am not sure that would provide the solution you want or not. Is that the sort of thing you were looking for? Then I could add a user hook that that could be something like user/nnn/acidfree or user/acidfree if they are logged in that would forward to the user's album.

That'd be great -- I want people to be able to click on a link and see their album (which this would allow) as well as share albums by sending others that self-same link (which this would also do).

I am also trying to add per-user galleries to the site, so each user can have his own set of galleries and not have to worry about other user's files unless he wants to see them. Acidfree is the nicest package out there in drupal-land, but I'm still trying to figure this one, as its the sole reason I need image galleries at all.

Any update on this? Wondering if anyone has had any luck... I really need this feature.

I would strongly recommend integrating acidfree with the Taxonomy Access Control module.
Each album could be assigned a category, and the Taxonomy Access Control would handle
the permissions. It seems to work great with other modules.

Quick update on my setup
With the taxonomy access installed, acidfree nodes seem to
fall into the 'uncategorized nodes' category.
For other users to see the albums, I need to the set the
permissions under the
>access control > category permissions tab
(i.e. home/admin/access/category/5)
For each role, permissions for the category called 'uncategorized nodes'
must be set to 'view', 'update, and 'delete', as desired.
For some reason, it doesn't allow me to select 'create',
but that doesn't seem to matter.
Would it be hard to change it so the user can select a taxonomy access
category when creating the album and handle permissions accordingly?
This would also solve NukeHavoc's problem because albums would only show
up if the user had access to that category.

see http://drupal.org/node/66390#10 and the patch attached to it (http://drupal.org/files/issues/album_options-r343.patch.txt). It addresses this problem among others. The patch is not complete, but I would like feedback before I finish it.
#8
I am moving this to be targetted for 4.7 because I am no longer providing feature fixes for 4.6.
#9
A fix for this is found in bug http://drupal.org/node/66390
Because of that, I am marking this as a duplicate. While it technically is not a duplicate, there were three features that were fairly similar in nature and I brought all three down with one patch.
