Tag structure for album creation

[vishnukvmd]

Proxied from Discord - original thread.

I would like to propose using a tag structure to create albums and sub-albums: using "@" to denote an album and a "." to denote a sub-album. For example, typing the tag: [@2024.Holiday Party] would create a new album named "2024" and a sub-album named "Holiday Party". The command would create both albums even if 2024 was not an existing album.

Ideally, this could be done in the Search bar so that as I type to create the album, then I can see a list of similar "@" tags.

Other considerations:

1. Provide a view of all tags. Separate tag view with a section for only album tags and a different section for regular tags.
2. Default tags: by year; it's a little something that makes it a one-click experience for the user. Although, I know it's easy to just type the year in the search bar for a result.
3. Provide a section in the Photo Info window to show all the tags; provide a tag section for albums to denote which albums the photo is in, and a section for regular tags.
4. Ability to quickly remove tags (little x on the tag)
5. Ability for quickly favorite a tag (little star on the tag)

I saw another discussion in GitHub on the 'ability to add sub-albums/folders.' While I'm in favor of sub-albums this feature request is more about the method to create sub-albums as well as just tagging photos in general. If a tag doesn't contain the "@" then it's just a tag as a user would expect it to be. It doesn't have to be an @ symbol a # would work, just something to denote it will create an album.

One challenge with this request is adding subfolders to already created album. Not sure how approach that, or if it's even feasible.
