I know what you're trying to do. But now with Photos you have to open Album B, select all of the photos inside and drag them onto Album A's icon in the sidebar. After assuring Album A has all of the photos you can delete Album B. We're in a different paradigm now and that's the workaround to use.
If you can't get it to work then you're doing something wrong or you've got a damaged library. Therefore as a test launch Photos with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos, create two album and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
Sorry about not getting back to you sooner. I did something that ate 16gigs of memory and looked for more. As the saying goes, Poor day when you can't learn something.
My "albums" are really events. What's in a name anyway....
To try moving one event into another as I often do on the Photo page I looked at the event and hit command A. Then thinking I was dragging source to destination dragged and dropped. The fans on my 2011 MBP kicked up a couple thousand turns immediately and nothing else worked. After a bit the beach ball arrived on the scene and remained. Thats my computers way of telling me to take a break.
When I came back there was a running out of memory message suggesting I shut all other applications down. I did and hit resume.
You have probably guessed what happened. Select All did exactly that and turned bunch of events into one event. I knew the task was complete when the fan noise decreased. What happened had penentrated yet I just knew I messed up.
Any way my Album A and Album B deal was really Event A and B. Turns out I don't use albums much. I have a few from many machines and years ago. Did learn something about nesting albums that I have always wanted to do, thanks for the info.
Its a busy weekend and my honey do list is overflowing. It will probably be Wednesday before I get back to my favorite program to hate, Photo. The look of system 10.10 still reminds me of Windows 1 or 2 with that faded pale look.
Had lunch with some newspaper and printing people, they are avoiding 10.10 as if has the plague because their service providers have warned them.
Any way thanks for your help... I will get back to you Wednesday late.
