Moving Albums

AlbumFiler is able to move albums, but not smart albums nor folders, to other folders. There is no AppleScript method within Photos to move an album from one folder to another, so AlbumFiler has to perform the following operations:

1. Creates a new album with the same name as the original album in the destination folder.

2. Adds the media items to the new album.

3. Deletes the old album if the number of media items in the new album matches that of the original album.

4. Reloads the list of albums and folders.

If the count of media items between the old and new albums do not match, AlbumFiler will display an error to the user to confirm things in the Photos app.

Photos will display this alert when adding large numbers of media items to an album.

AlbumFiler will display this error if it cannot confirm the move was successful.
