I am refering to the manual accessible with F1, in section Albums
View/Managing Albums. Below the Figure 2.1, the second point talks about
Album Collection.

This is exactly the feature I am refering to (in french too ;)). I
assigned a category to one of my albums but could not figure out where I
can sort my albums by category and actually see these categories.
Any thoughts?

I did not know about the custom album icon size, good to know.
Anyway, this was more out of curiosity than anything else.
