The bug

Adding a selection of images from an existing album to another one behaves differently if you click "Add to album" -> "New Album" or select an existing album:

  1. If you choose "New Album", the selected images will be added to the new album and stay selected in the old album, so you can simply click "Remove from album" afterwards. (Use case here: Moving Images from one album to another)
  2. If you choose an existing album, the selected images will be added to the existing album and the selection is cleared. For aforementioned use case you then have to manually find and select the same images again in order to remove them from the old album.

I prefer behavior 1 (not clearing the selection after moving images to an album).

(Btw: capitalization of "album/Album" is also inconsistent on "Add to album" and "New Album")

Related feature request for the use case (but not duplicate of the ui inconsistency) would be https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/8604 I guess.
