Advanced album and tag filter

Enhancement

Hello,
Here is a small mockup of what an advanced filter system within Lychee might look like “in an ideal world.”
Multiple album selection + Multiple tag selection.
Result: in this mockup, for example, we would get all of Ken Kelly's covers in Creepy AND Eerie magazines (or, in the case of a selection of 2 tags, all of Kelly AND Frazetta's covers in Creepy AND Eerie magazines... etc.)
dB.

PS : Of course, ideally, these filters should be “public.”

I am not sure about the Albums part.
I can see that the tag allow quick filtering of the photos in the album page. That is fairly easy to implement and should not require a heavy computation server-side.

However adding the sub-album constraint makes it significantly harder to implement as it becomes a search functionality instead.

PS : Of course, ideally, these filters should be “public.”

Or at least an option to decide whether to have them public or private. :)

I had some idea of the difficulty and development time required to merge Albums and Tags in order to achieve parent and child-level filtering. There are entire WordPress plugins dedicated solely to this task.
In any case, I believe that a tag filter for each album (private or public, as desired) would be a definite asset for Lychee.

But these are just suggestions :)
