Remove stared photos in favour of 5 stars rating.

Enhancement

Currently we have two ways to rate stars:
rating & is_stared.

I would suggest to switch to full rating.
Migration process:

• For each photo with is_starred set to true, create an associated 5 rating between the photo and the owner.
• Recompute the averages
• Remove the is_starred column

This makes the most sense as its mostly redundant having both!

The Album ID I have set for the Frame is starred - consider also changing that to five_stars - assuming that will still work the same way.

I think is_starred has different function as they are added to the public album if configured. Star amount is opinion and is_starred is more like hilight of the album. maybe the name should be changed to help to keep the functionality? they are different things but are now mixed by name.

I like that idea. to have something like highlight. It avoids the duality between starred & star ratings.

I vote for this approach. IMO we should keep starred as "favourites". I know currently there is "heart" functionality. Maybe we can combine them?

At first, I thought that the "Starred" album was some sort of a half-baked favourites feature because of its name (see #3855, #3855 (reply in thread)). That's why we created a "Photographer's Choice" album, into which we manually copy certain photos, but this has the disadvantage that they are then duplicated. However, it turned out that the "Starred" smart album is actually perfect for highlighting photos. So I also think it's a good idea to change the name to "Highlights", "Photographer's Choice", or something similar.

I quite like the term of Photographer's Choice or something similar, as it makes it very clear its a different thing
