How to see what album (if any) a Photo is in

I'm in the Photos app, clicked on "Photos" in the sidebar under "library," and then "showing all items." From there -- which is the display of all the photos I have -- I was looking for an easy way to tell if each individual photo is already in one of my Albums, if any. I thought this was showing before I but I can't sem to get it back. I have over 10,000 items that I want to make sure are put into albums and I don't want to waste time moving photos into Albums if they're alrterady there.

You can use this AppleScript to do that: How to find out the albums a photo is in: Jacques Rioux's Script, version 2019.


The script compiled as an application can be downloaded from this tutorial site:  P01 - Applescripts from Photos’ User Tips Compiled as Applications
