    I create an album and assign it “Only Me” visibility. Then I upload the photos, the photo are uploaded with a “Everyone” visibility setting by default. Since I am using the Grid “Photo Layout”, I cannot change the visibility setting in the albums page, I have to go to the activity screen/Wall and edit the visibility there. My users are having problems with this as they expect the photos in an album with “Only Me” visibility be hidden, but the photos are visible to “Everyone” and they have to change the photos manually.

    Is there a way to remove the Visibility setting for images that are in an album, and let the Album Visibility determine the visibility of the images within it?

    Or maybe all of the photo that are uploaded to an album take the album’s visibility as default as opposed to being always being set to “Everyone”?

    @daniel_amigos let me ask the developers if this is as designed or the reasoning behind the logistics of this process.

    I found this in the code:

    
    /**
    *@todo: 
    *currently global media page shows all media uploads not associated with any album.
    *Ideally it should also show photos uploaded in 'public' (and 'members only' if user is loggedin) albums.
    *But this involves
    *1. Either, a set of dirty manipulations of activity query sql
    *2. Or, fetching and passing all public album activity ids into activity query
    *   but that can be messy if there are thousands of uploaded images
    *			
    *buddyboss_media_activity_media_public_only_unfinished is a potential solution
    * 
    * UNDECIDED FOR NOW

    @daniel_amigos Then it looks like this is in the works. I’m trying to get access to our priority list but we are concentrating on getting a firm grab on the bugs that keep popping up. Once we fix those logistics then we can start working on feature like this? 🙂 Give us a month or so and hopefully we will have new features being released.
