Using the QuickAlbum

The QuickAlbum (formerly known as the Mylio Clipboard) is a powerful temporary staging area that allows you to gather photos from anywhere in your library and perform a variety of actions, including copying, moving, exporting, and adding to Albums.

The QuickAlbum includes several tools for managing selected photos:

• Add: Adds selected media to the QuickAlbum.
• Clear: Removes all media from the QuickAlbum.
• Select All: Selects all media currently in the QuickAlbum.
• Deselect: Deselects any currently selected media in the QuickAlbum.
• Copy: Copies the selected media in the QuickAlbum to the system clipboard.
• Paste: Pastes the contents of the system clipboard into the current container in Mylio Photos or directly into the file system.
  • If pasting into an Album, the action is virtual (photos are added without moving them on disk).
  • If pasting into a Folder, the action physically moves the files on disk.
  • If pasting into the file system or another app, the files are copied to the selected location.
• Export: Opens the Export dialog using the selected media.
• Move: Opens the Move to Folder dialog to physically move selected files to a new location.
• Add to Album: Opens the Add to Album dialog to place selected media into one or more Albums.

How to Use the QuickAlbum

1. From any view, select one or more images and drag them to the bottom of the screen to automatically open the QuickAlbum .
   • Alternatively, right-click (or tap the Actions Menu icon in the right sidebar) and choose Add to > QuickAlbum.

2. Use the buttons in the QuickAlbum panel to organize or take action on your selected photos. For example:
   • Quickly move images between folders.
   • Add multiple images to Albums without needing to reselect them.
   • Export a curated group of images with a single command.
3. Navigate to the desired destination and drag photos directly from the QuickAlbum to a folder or album.
4. When finished, click Clear to empty the QuickAlbum.

*TIP: Quickly save the contents of the QuickAlbum to an Album using the keyboard shortcut command + B (macOS) or ctrl + B (Windows).

*NOTE: Clearing the QuickAlbum does not duplicate, move, or delete your original photos.
