Single photo to multiple albums

[Sta-ces]

Enhancement

Hello,
I couldn’t find this feature or setting, but it would be very useful to be able to assign a single photo to multiple albums.
This would be especially helpful when working with different people or when a photo fits into multiple categories.

Example:
I have a photo of cats playing. I’ve added it to the album named after the cat, but it would also make sense to include it in my "Animals" album.

Thank you for considering this suggestion!

You mean this?

Note that I have made a large refactoring of the backend a few months ago so that a many-to-many relationship exists between albums-photo. This also means that you can no longer have duplicates due to the uniqueness of the bound album_id---photo_id.

Got it, thanks. I initially thought 'Copy to...' would duplicate the photo to another album. Perhaps it would be clearer to rename the option to 'Add to...' and display a list of the albums where the photo already exists.

That used to be the case before the refactoring. It would effectively duplicate the photo record in the database. This is no longer happening that way due to the internal logic change. :)

display a list of the albums where the photo already exists.

Yeah there is already a suggestion on that. That is quite complex to display due to all the access rights on the albums.
I need to see how to implement it.
