Making an Album of Galleries was created by Thanks MrTrump
I was surprised how difficult it was to do this fairly common task in sigPro.

I finally answered the question as follows

Make a K2 tools duplicate.
Select module functionality to "Custom Code"

Insert the following code
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="administrator/components/com_sigpro/css/style.css">
<style>
ul.sigProGalleriaWhite {
display:none;
}
div.sigProGalleriaWhiteContainer{
margin: 8px;
}
.sigProGrid {
    background: #fff;
}
p.sigProGalleriaWhiteTargetTitle{
display:none;
}
.sigProGalleryLinkbig{
 position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    text-decoration: none;
    /* Makes sure the link doesn't get underlined */
    z-index: 10;
}
</style>


<div class="sigProGrid sigProClearFix sigTransition sigBoxSizing sigSlidingItem">

<?php
$id = JFactory::getApplication()->input->getInt('id');
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$query->select($db->quoteName(array('id', 'title','alias', 'gallery')));
$query->from($db->quoteName('#__k2_items'));
$query->where($db->quoteName('gallery').' IS NOT NULL');
$db->setQuery($query);
$result = $db->loadObjectList();
foreach($result as $row) {
$title = $row->title;
$id = $row->id;
$alias = $row->alias;
    echo '<div class="sigProGallery sigProGridColumn">
               <div class="sigProGalleryInner">
<a  class="sigProGalleryLinkbig" href="index.php/en/component/k2/item/'.$id.'-'.$alias.'">&nbsp;</a>
	        <div class="sigProImageContainer">'.$row->gallery.'</div>';
 
    echo '    <div class="sigProGalleryTextWrapper">

                  <div class="sigProGalleryTitle sigProCollapse">
                   <a class="sigProGalleryLink" href="index.php/en/component/k2/item/'.$id.'-'.$alias.'">'.$title.'</a>
                  </div>
                 </div>
                </div>
              </div>';
}
?>

</div>

(I was using the GalleriaWhite lightbox option)

Set "Parse PHP code" to Yes.

Create a new position for your K2 tools duplicate "gallposition" say.

Save your K2 tools duplicate

In the menu set K2 tools duplicate to display on all pages.

Create a new Article containing the text {loadposition gallposition}

That article should then look like the attachment.



That's one answer to the question of how to make up an album of galleries in sigPro.
As to why making albums can't be done more easily in sigPro in the first place I have no answers

Thanks for updating the post :)

I might seriously consider making a module for it with additional options to filter K2 categories and apply different styling (perhaps more minimal) to the galleries so they fit in a more confined (module) space.
