Make User Collections list sticky

I am working through my catalog to make selections for various purposes and am using albums to pull them together. So far so good.

But the only way to add to an album appears to be drag and drop. OK, sort of, but only up to a point. My main folder structure is deep: decade/year/month/location or event. That means when I get down to, say, June in a recent year (even with all unneeded folders collapsed) the user collections are scrolling off the page. So now I need to select images in the folder, drag the user collections back into view and then drag and drop, then drag the next folder back into view. Not convenient when I am working through three years of material to find pictures for an article I have written.

Could the User Collections or even a specific album be made sticky so it does not scroll off the page? It wouold save me, and I suspect others, a load of time.

I've not really experimented much in this area but, could you make an Album the "Selects Collection" (from its right-click menu)?

Then I believe you can select an image and use the right-click option "Move to Selects Folder" (default Ctrl+J).

I think that puts a reference to the image in the album.

Thanks Richard,

I discovered your post when I came back to say I had discovered the Selects collection! I have set up my album as a selects collection and it works - I knew there had to be an easier way!
