In the addon admin page, you can see the following info:

This addon will display categories with a thumbnail - links to browse page.

Tags to use:
<ALBUMVIEW> - Shows newest photo for each category.
<ALBUMVIEWPAGED> - Same as above but for use with Paged Archive Addon.
<ALBUMVIEWRAND> - Shows random photo for each category.
<ALBUMVIEWPAGEDRAND> - Same as abover but for use with Paged Archive Addon.

This was just an example Kevin. It would be great if you have slideshow functionality in the album view addon. Simply clicking the thumbnail of the album and start a flash slideshow. Is it very difficult to develop this?

It would probably take longer than it did for me to do this addon. Honestly I don't have the time or desire to do any flash development these days. Now if someone else wrote an addon that would do what you want, it wouldn't be difficult to get it to work with this addon. You could even do some javascript DOM editing and rewrite the urls to do what you wanted them to do.

How can i add the last update time of each album? And "new" would be shown if new photos have been added within a specific time?

Need help with this addon. First I wanna say "thank you" to kevin for that great
addon. But after installing the albumview I had two problems. I'm using the horizon template. And the problems which appeared:

1. The thumbnails won't appear in a row (of 5). There is vertical line of thumbnails.
2. After clicking on one thumbnail it does not jump to the desired photos of that kategory.

What went wrong?

Seems to be working for me, but to get the photos into rows you need to add some extra css:

.albumWrapper { float:left; }
