The feature

Hello

I don't like the automatic backup feature so it is disabled for my device. I rather like to backup only those photos which I personally care about. Those images I cherry-pick and I do upload and assign to an album. Now this is unfortunately not as simple as I would like it.

Current procedure:

1. I select the photos
2. I click on upload (this removes the selection)
3. I have to scroll through the photos I just uploaded, reselect them.
4. I add the selected photos to the album.

Optimal solution:

1. I select the photos
2. I have a button "Add to album"
3. I select the album. Images are uploaded and directly assigned with the album.

As pointed out in #8595 , this is also relevant for users who do synchronise their assets automatically when automatic foreground backup is running but has not yet synchronised the assets in question, e.g. because they have just been added.

I am also eagerly waiting for this one.
It would also help a lot with shared albums where not all participants use immich as a backup for their photos and just want to upload some of them to some album.
