Description Peter 2025-11-03 07:42:14 UTC 
In many cases, simple file operations (like copying or moving an album using hotkey or the context menu) would be a convenient and fast solution within the main windows's Album panel. Unfortunately, neither the hotkey work (CTRL+C; CTRL+X; CTRL+V), nor is the function available in the context menu. Interestingly, the drag-and-drop functionality does work; however, moving or copying an album folder to a remote location within the album tree is quite cumbersome using the drag-and-drop method.

Request:
Enable the Copy/Cut/Paste function on the Album panel using keyboard shortcuts or the context menu.
