[Feature] move albums selected for backup info to bottom of UI

[genebean]

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

• Yes

The feature

I love the new Select all & Deselect all buttons on the screen where you pick what albums to back up on iOS!

Issue

The challenge is that the UI is less than ideal when you have to scroll past 200+ albums to see the buttons shown here:

Additionally, on the screen before this one where the backup status is shown, it’s also a pain to scroll past all these albums to see the current status

Proposal

I suggest moving the list of selected albums on both screens below the other parts of the UI.

Album selection screen

Specifically, on the album selection screen, move the list of currently selected albums below the Select all & Deselect all buttons so that it is much easier to find and use them. Relatedly, the list feels redundant to the checkboxes below since there is a search option too.

Backup status screen

On the backup status screen, the key information is the status, not the list of albums. As such, I suggest moving the list to the bottom so it’s still there but not getting in the way of the status information.

Related issue

These awesome selection buttons seem to be related to #12739

I don’t think this UI ordering fits in there, thus the new thread.

Platform

I selected Mobile as the platform below because it’s all I’ve interacted with, but my suggestions hold for web too if the same components are shown the same way there.

Platform

• Server
• Web
• Mobile

I think this is a bit different than the linked discussion - it’s about selection and this is about UI ordering including on a screen that doesn’t involve selection. Please help me understand how this is a duplicate or reopen this one. Thanks!

Do you have a quick sketch of what you have in mind?

I tried to describe it in words above, but I could probably do some cut and paste of screenshot sections to show what I am talking about... is that kind of visual what you mean?
