Add the hyperlink to view nested albums list when in the lightbox

​Is there any work to be able to navigate out to nested albums when in Filters> Albums, or the Lightbox view "add to an album"?  Before F3, there was a hyperlink to navigate out to a specific album when in the light box "add to album" and it was very helpful. 

NOW, we have to know the name of the album and type it in the field for it to come up with suggestions - both in the Filters section, and in the "add to album" section in the lightbox. It's kind of frustrating and I have had several clients asking for this as well. 

 

Am I missing something? Is it available and I am just not doing it correctly?

  Hi! Jennifer Foote!

  Thank you for coming to Community with your request!  Tammy has answered this question - there is an icon next to Add Album in the info panel of the Lightbox.  That allows for you to scan thorugh top level Album names and drill down into nested album structures.  I hope this helps!

  In the lightbox information panel to the right of the + add button in the "albums" section there is an icon when hover over it says, "choose album" and when click that you can navigate the path to any albums - FYI

  I would love to see this feature added.  So many clients have nested albums and some have several layers of nested albums.  They can't always remember the name of the album to search and without being able to expand the album list view it becomes very frustrating.  They end up going through a lot more steps to add the photo to the album they want.

  this is already there.....

  When in the lightbox there is + add if you know the album name, but to the right of that there is a picture of an album with 2 squares under it and when you hoover over it says "choose album" and when you click the icon it gives you the album structure to navigate to find the album you want to add it to

  Yes, I figured that out about a month ago, however we still don't have that in the Filters. We need to be able to access the album tree in filters (where we still only see top level albums or have to remember what the album is called to type it in).
