SUMMARY Although it's possible to 'tag' an Album with a category, and use that category in a search query, the category feature appears otherwise unsupported. If I sort Album view by category the categories are not displayed anywhere in the Album view to allow me to see the grouping. I can't find any setting to allow the display of categories. If one were unaware of the current sort method, then it would appear that the Albums are mis-sorted. The same points could also apply to the Album date, although that is visible at the top of the thumbnail view. I'd suggest that the Album tree be reorganized when sorted by category e.g. Albums - Categories - Checked - Checked Album - Friends - Friends Album - Miscellaneous - Uncategorised - Work etc.. The ability to label (colour code, rating, pick) albums would also be a welcome addition. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3.

Maik, The album categories is a very older features. Information are not store in database, and are in fact not really suitable in production. For this feature, we have 2 solutions: 1/ drop the feature and clean up the code. 2/ improve the feature to host information in database and patch album with a properties when assigned, and implement a better tool to fileter albums in GUI.
