Configurable album OR images default view for user profiles

[Rodolfo]

💡Describe your Feature request

Add an admin option (or user option) to configure which listing is used by default for profiles. At this time the system list images by default, it should enable to pick between images (current) and albums (new addition).

👏Where did you saw this?

It was requested by a user, I've also saw that there are many galleries driven by albums instead of images so this could help to improve display.

🔥Interest outside our community

I've noticed that Piwigo uses albums by default and they have a lot of instances in museums and whatnot where they need to be album driven. This may broaden our market.

This is something I would find to be extremely useful. I hope that others support this option.

I believe instead of setting this in user preferences, it should be configured within each album. When creating an album, there could be an option to choose whether to display sub-albums first or images first.

There's some confusion. What we are discussing here is configurable /username view default tab, not /album/<id> view default tab which is a different concern.

Album could also need a setting similar to this, but that requires another RFC. Here: https://chevereto.com/community/threads/configurable-default-tab-for-album-view.15440/

This will be added to v4.1.3.
