1. What is not working as documented?

The desktop web version of the UI isn't very optimal when using a mouse. You often have to click many photos individually instead of drag selecting them, and picking an action requires a lot of mouse movement because there's no pop-up menu. This gave me repetitive strain injury problems the other day, after sorting thousands of pictures into albums, and I was unable to do my usual gym routine.

2. How can we reproduce it?

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Select a large number of photos.
  2. Move them to an album.
  3. Repeat for hours.
  4. Get wrist pain.

3. What behavior do you expect?

Reduce how much the mouse has to be moved to perform operations.

4. What could be the cause of your problem?

Having thousands of photos to categorise upon initial import and wanting to get through a lot of them in a short time.

6. Which software versions do you use?

(a) PhotoPrism Architecture & Build Number: AMD64, ARM64, ARMv7,...

x64
PhotoPrism® CE
Build [240420-ef5f14bc4]

There is no drag selection at this time however you can select multiple photos at once using shift click.
