Feature Request: Add Photo Moving Functionality Between Albums/Galleries

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always frustrated when I need to organize my photos across different albums. Currently, there's no direct way to move photos from one album/gallery to another. I have to delete the photo from the current album and re-upload it to the target album, which is inefficient and time-consuming, especially when dealing with multiple photos or when I want to reorganize my photo collection.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to have a feature that allows users to move photos directly between albums/galleries. The ideal solution would include:

• A "Move to" option in the photo context menu or toolbar
• Ability to select one or multiple photos and move them to a different album
• A dialog showing all available albums for selection as the destination
• Option to either copy or move (cut) the photos
• Visual confirmation when the operation is completed successfully

This would streamline photo organization and make it much easier to manage collections over time.

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. Delete and re-upload: The current workaround, but it's inefficient and loses metadata like upload timestamps
2. Duplicate and delete: Copy the photo to another album then delete from the original, but this is also a two-step process that's prone to errors
3. Third-party tools: Using external photo management software, but this breaks the seamless experience within the application
4. Manual organization: Planning ahead to put photos in the right album initially, but this doesn't help when reorganization is needed later

All these alternatives are cumbersome compared to having a native move functionality.

Additional context

This feature would be particularly useful for:

• Users who frequently reorganize their photo collections
• Those who accidentally place photos in wrong albums
• People with large photo libraries who need better organization tools
• Professional users who need to sort client photos into appropriate project albums

The implementation could follow common UI patterns seen in file managers where users can drag-and-drop or use contextual menus to move files between folders.

I chose this issue as the best worked out feature request for this bigger project.

My idea of such a mechanism is a modified version of the dialog that allows you to choose what album to add your file to.

Im thinking something like this:

I don't know if it should be a grid or a list but to get an idea.
