Action proposal: filter Photos #108

Description

I would like to filter Photos which have no location. Other options also would be useful. I tried to create such action myself, but it seems that Photos are converted to temporary images then they are passed to third-party actions. So, I was not able to add them to another album, as I can with built-in shortcuts.

The problem with built-in shortcuts is: they are very-very slow, it's impossible to wait until the end.

Maybe you can return filtered photos from your action, instead of receiving photos as an input.

Also, if you have any ideas about this, it would be great, maybe I will be able to finish it myself.

To do this, the action would need to fetch photos directly from the Photos library, but it would still not be able to return the same type as the built-in Photos actions, so I'm not sure how useful it would be. You would not be able to pass in the output to any of the built-in Photos actions.
