"As a user, I'd like the Albums/unsorted view to automatically update when a selection of pictures are added to an album, and remove them from the view"

The scenario goes as follows:

I have potentially thousands of pictures (pics in no album) to organize in albums
The Albums/unsorted view helps me showing only those pictures that are not
in any album.

Then I start selecting pictures and adding them to albums

During the process, when I add a selection to an album, all the selection
marks in the albums/unsorted view are cleared but the photos are still
shown until the view albums/unsorted is refreshed. That makes pretty hard
to keep track of what pictures have been organized in the current
'organizing session'

Ideally, when we are in the albums/unsorted view, pictures that are added
to an album should automatically be removed from the view without the need
of refreshing. Or, if you like, the albums/unsorted view should be
automatically updated.

The behavior might be exactly the same as archiving pictures from any view: The view automatically updates removing the archived pictures.
