Pictures in multiple albums are archived if one of the albums is archived

Description

If a certain picture belongs to albums A and B, where A is archived and B is not, the picture won't appear in the timeline. I think that the expected behavior would be the other way around, the picture would show up in the timeline as long as it belongs to album B and B is not archived.

My use case is: I have an album of an event with many pictures, and I want to select only a few pictures of it for my timeline, and archive the rest; I tried archiving the album and adding the selected pictures to another, unarchived album but that didn't work as expected.

Thanks for taking this in consideration!

Hey @jaragunde ,

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm converting this GitHub issue into a feature request.

Expected behavior would be the other way around, the picture would show up in the timeline as long as it belongs to album B and B is not archived.

We'll consider updating the implementation based on feedback from more users.

I just encountered the same issue. For a birthday party I shared a link so that others could upload their photos. After making a selection of the best ones into a new album, I wanted to archive the shared album so that it is hidden from my timeline. Unfortunately, all photos are hidden now.
