Hi MichelBParis,

By Save Album to File command from contextual menu you can share album structure to others by exporting yours.

Note: Exporting an album does not export the photos associated with the album.

For more information on Export or import an album structure please check the following help documentation.

You can use this feature to transfer a list of albums from one catalog to another or from one computer to another. It only stores and restores list/hierarchy of albums - no files association is saved. You can actually load such an xml file into a catalog as well (from the same contextual menu).

I discovered this feature in the contextual menu of the album header line.

It produces an xml file.

What is the purpose of that feature, I did not find anything on the help about albums ?
