Feature detail

Instead of going within each of my pictures one by one, it would be nice if the /photos screen could show me at a glance if a picture is already in an album or not.

Suggestion: Maybe by having an icon or the album name displayed as an overlay on mouse hover?

Discord SMAW:

If you go to the shared album and click add photos you see which are already added... In the overview

That is indeed convenient. And very well implemented from an UX point of view. Kudos for it!

However those extra steps of opening the album (slow) then click add are quite opposed to having it "at a glance" in the photo list.

I have the same issue. I simply like to know if a photo is not in an album at all. This helps me to organize my photos by forcing me to put photos in an album (or delete unwanted ones). Otherwise I would simply overlook so many "minor" photos in my full timeline.

A proposal on how this could be solved: On the original macOS Photo App I simply created a "smart album" which listed photos that are not in any other album. Maybe something like "smart albums" (including filters, detected objects/categories) could be something for Immich as well. This would improve the album functionality and also solve this issue here?

This feature can be encompassed into a filter/search system as well.
