2 months ago I would also like to group albums, however more in the sense of "subalbums". E.g. I'd like to have an album group "Holidays" show up in the top level album view. When I open it, it should show all holiday albums ("Holiday Summer 2023", "Holiday USA 2030" etc.) as a second level of selecting the subalbums.
In the context of this feature request I can imagine a solution with a toggle button to select if subalbums should be merged (flattened as @cluelesstriesprogramming describes above) or not (separate albums with 2nd intermediate level as I describe above).
BONUS: Similar to the "hide album" feature, regex could be supported as well.
Feature/Frustration: I really like sorting my photos into albums/folders but Android/ Other apps make new folder for specific content, my main annoyance is when I download images, if I download something from my web browser itll go into the download folder, if i download within some apps itll make a folder for that app (twitter & tumblr in my case) and I find myself manually moving stuff from these apps folders/albums into the downloads folder/album
Possible Implementation: It would be great if I could make album groups lets say downloads and twitter, now in the albums page it shows them as one album and I get to view both albums as if they are one (also preferably on the albums page hide individual albums that are in a group) it doesn't even have to move the files just as long as in the app they are grouped in the albums page
Alternative Implementation: Alternatively there could be an auto move file to album say when I launch the app it looks at the albums I have selected (tumblr & twitter) detects images and moves them to my album of choice (downloads)
