I am trying to organise some folders - I have dragged several into a new folder and I get the above error message "Nesting is limited to 5 folders" - never had this before - any thoughts?

Yes, that's correct, the nesting of the folders can be up to 5 deep. Is that folder you're trying to drag into already buried deep in the hierarchy?

Ah I see what it means - so I have:
Albums ( presume this is level 1)
- Clients (a Folder - level 2)
- - Village (a Folder - level 3)
-----Village calendars (a Folder - level 4)
--------Draft calendars (level 5? - a Folder)
----------2025 Calendar (an Album - level 6???)

So its still a bit odd as it allowed me to put that one Album in under level 5 but wont allow any more Albums in that Folder???

I can't reproduce that I'm afraid Chris, but I'm not using quite the same build as you are. I can create albums within the 5th level folder.
