Nextcloud file-selection dialog
I'd like to create a stored search which includes (or excludes) certain albums
and all their sub-albums.
The problem with the recommended workflow (right-click on the album, "Select"
-> "Children") is that if new sub-albums are added, the search needs to be
manually updated to find them. This is most noticeable with phone uploads
grouped into year/month folders, but could be an issue in almost any workflow
that includes a saved search as the first step in identifying
uncategorized/untagged photos after saving them.
I would prefer if the tree selection box worked like similar file selection
tools - I've attached a screenshot of the Nextcloud file sync selection tree -
selecting a folder automatically includes its children (including children that
don't exist yet), and if you only want a subset of the children you select them
manually, and the parent checkbox shows a different symbol indicating that.
Alternatively, an "Include Sub-albums" checkbox next to the album selection
drop-down in the search tool would solve my use-case, and more clearly
communicate the default behavior (i.e. that sub-albums aren't included by
default).
