How to move duplicates that are not in an album already?
While attempting to clear a large number of duplicates, I commonly encounter this situation: two photos are available, one with a higher quality than the other. However, the higher quality photo does not exist in an album whereas the lower quality one does.
Is there any method I can use to quickly move the higher quality photo into the album? I have to do this manually at the moment and it takes quite some time.

There’s a PR for it: #13851
[Pull Request] feat(web): synchronise metadata and album membership between duplicate images (immich-app/immich#13851)
Ahh perfect, I was having trouble finding that. Thanks!
