The new album option is disabled unless I'm within an already existing
album. What I would like to do is to make a set of sub-albums root
albums, so that from:

- photo
  - 2015
  - 2014

I will have:
- 2014
- 2015

The point is that on-disk I'd like to still have the photo grouped
within the "photo" tree, but not having the "photo" dir included as a
whole album, rather each content of the dir as several albums. The
reason for this is that I'd like to split photo in smaller albums, so
that I can archive them easily.
Is that possible or am I misunderstanding the album concept?
