We'll probably soon support organizing photos both by tag and by on-disk folder, and I think we probably don't need yet another folder-ish organization mechanism. Marking as wontfix.

I'd forgotten that this had been closed. I'm reopening.
I'm unconvinced that our current organizational schemes really are sufficient. From watching the mailing list for years now, it seems to me that what's happened is users have worked around our organizational schemes in order to get what they want out of Shotwell. If Shotwell offered Albums, many of these workarounds would be unnecessary.
An Album scheme would offer the following:
- Any album hierarchy the user prefers
- Photos selectively added and arranged to an album in whatever order the user prefers
- A custom name
- Does not affect commonly-used photo metadata, even if metadata writing is turned on
