I have searched the existing feature requests to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

In the web app, when I am viewing an album and I click on an image. There doesn't seem to be any option to remove the image from the album. I only see an option to delete the image. I have to go back the album view select the image and then remove. When there are duplicate images, this can be tough / and tedious

I must agree about that. Much needed option!

#8390

I feel like this request is slightly different from #8390. That one is about removing a photo from an album when reaching it via timeline/search, whereas this is about when you're already viewing the image from within an album, i.e., at a URL like /albums/ALBUM-ID/photos/PHOTO-ID.

Since the context is clearly the album, it should be feasible to show a “Remove from album” action directly in the viewer — ideally also with a shortcut. This would make album management much smoother.

I agree that this is not the same as #8390. Flipping through the full-screen images and hitting a shortcut key to remove the current image from the album would be my preferred workflow. I have huge albums (auto-populated by tag using SQL -- also, would be nice if you could create an album from one or more tags), this for me is by far the fastest way to slim down the album.

Currently my workaround is the following. I post this here for people that need this as well (and aren't scared of SQL). Always be careful when manually making changes to the database!

1. Make sure your trash is empty!
2. Flip through the album hitting the "DELETE" key to move images you want out of the album, to trash.
3. Execute the SQL below. It unlinks the images (asset) found in trash from any album it is in.
4. In the front-end, go to trash, and click "Restore All".

DELETE FROM albums_assets_assets WHERE "assetsId" IN (
     SELECT aaa."assetsId"
       FROM albums_assets_assets aaa
 INNER JOIN assets ass
         ON ass.id = aaa."assetsId"
      WHERE ass.status = 'trashed'
);
