BUG: Albums advertise video organization but only support images

[1sakshm]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I searched the issue tracker for this exact mismatch. The closest result is the closed broad album feature issue Implement Albums Feature #775; this report is limited to the remaining, user-visible inconsistency.

What happened?

The Create Album dialog tells users that albums organize both photos and videos, but the current implementation only permits images. A user can reasonably expect a video to be selectable for an album after reading the dialog, yet there is no UI or backend representation for a video membership.

Evidence on main

• frontend/src/components/Albums/CreateAlbumDialog.tsx:103 displays: "Create a new album to organize your photos and videos."
• frontend/src/components/Albums/AddImagesToAlbumDialog.tsx fetches only fetchAllImages() and submits only image_ids.
• backend/app/database/albums.py defines album_images with image_id as a foreign key to images(id).
• backend/app/routes/albums.py:125-126 explicitly documents that clips are left out because albums have no video support.
• backend/app/utils/memory_scoring.py:61-65 also treats in_album as unavailable for videos because a video cannot be put in an album.

Expected behavior

The UI should not claim a capability that the product does not provide. Maintainers can choose one of two directions:

1. Correct the wording so albums are accurately presented as photo-only; or
2. Scope a follow-up feature for genuine video membership in albums, including storage, API, gallery, and test coverage.

Screenshots

Not applicable: the mismatch is visible in the create-album dialog copy and confirmed by the associated code paths above.

I will wait for maintainer review and direction before opening a PR.

Hey @rohan-pandeyy , Assign this to me!

Here are the steps to fix it:

1. Update copy in CreateAlbumDialog.tsx:103 to remove "and videos" claim.
2. Grep frontend for other album-related strings mentioning "videos" and fix those too.
3. Add a short comment in backend/app/routes/albums.py and memory_scoring.py noting video exclusion is intentional (for future contributors).
4. Add a frontend test asserting the dialog copy doesn't mention videos.

i would like to work on this issue. Can the maintainer assign it to me?
