Albums: allow adding photos added by collaborators to own library #947

Open jwefers opened 7 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I want to be able to pull photos added to an album by collaborators into my own library/timeline to do further stuff with them.

Describe the solution you'd like When (multi-)selecting photos inside an Album, and at least one of the photos does not come from my own library, there is a button to "add photos to your timeline", essentially hardlinking them into my own library. There could be a setting for a default target folder in the file structure or an additional "select folder" dialog step.

Describe alternatives you've considered Download and re-upload them to my own lib, creating a duplicate of the file.

I think it's a good idea to allow other users to better integrate these photos within their already own photos. One problem I can see with this idea is the duplication of data on the server (if both users are on the same instance). Another solution could be to create a folder which contains all photos shared in albums.
