Description Mo 2022-09-11 11:49:24 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have a large collection of albums in Google Photos and I would like to request two updates
1. Ability to create a new album without retrieving the list of existing albums (I have a large collection and I need to wait for all of them to read before I am presented a choice to create a new album)
2. Use "album"/"folder" name as the default album name to be uploaded. 


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS:  7.8.0 (installed through homebrew)

For some time now we have included this optimization that when creating an album, the album list is not read again. I just tested it again using the debug output, the album list doesn't reload. If it takes you so long to create a new album it will be due to the Google servers due to the large number of albums. However, we cannot change that.

Google Photo API doesn't handle album names when uploading, we need the album ID. Therefore, the album list must be loaded at least once at the start in order to get the assignment Album name <=> Album ID.
