In 0.7.x also, it was not possible to drag a bunch of photos from a tag 
view into a new album. there were bigger usability problems in that 
interface, as the assigning of tags (which is a more common task) 
required you to scroll a lot in the albums-tag view on the left. as to 
your concern about copying photos from different views into a new album, 
this can be done more efficiently by providing Cut/Copy/Paste. 
Hopefully, it will be implemented for 0.8.1

A faster way of achieving this is: create a temporary tag, assign this 
tag to the photos and then switch over to the tagview and open the tag. 
no copying of photos involved.
