Add --add-to-album ALBUM_TEMPLATE to batch-edit #1009

Closed RhetTbull closed 9 months ago

Allowing a template for --add-to-album would allow syncing of Albums across iCloud Shared Library thusly:

User 1 uses batch-edit to create keywords that match each album:

osxphotos batch-edit --keyword "{album}" --keyword "{keyword}"

User 2 uses batch-edit to reverse this:

osxphotos batch-edit --add-to-album "{keyword}"

Add option for auto-splitting albums/folders.

keyword template: {album?album:{album}} adds keywords for album:Album Name

album template: {keyword|filter(startswith album:)|sslice(6:)} finds keywords beginning with album:, strips that part and returns the album name.

These would allow bi-directional sync of albums between shared libraries.
