Should we add an exclusive approach to the album selection routine?

[oparoz]

Gallery has taken an inclusive approach, which only excludes folders which where hand picked by users.

• works well for people who use their cloud for sharing
• up and running from the start
• compatible with mobiles

✨ Gallery Deluxe ✨ by @libasys is doing the opposite. You have to first define the folders you want to use in your Gallery or you'll see nothing.

• works well for people who upload entire hard drives online and want to focus on a few multimedia folders
• empty gallery until properly configued

I'm not a fan of the second approach as it doesn't fit my use cases, but I can understand that some people might get annoyed by the fact that their gallery is filled with random albums, just because they contain some icons.

What do you think? What do your users think? Ask around!
