How Can We Create a Sub-Folder (or Sub-Album) Within Hidden Photos Album?

I have a bunch of photos in my "Hidden" album. I'd like to categorize them by theme, so I can work with one set of hidden photos (eg, of confidential docs like income statements) without revealing other hidden photos (eg, like baby's birthday-suit photos). I've tried troubleshooting but so far no luck. Does *anyone* have a solution? And if not, Apple: can you please make this happen?!

Hi


The only way to do this is with keywords and smart albums.


Categorise your hidden folders with keywords (eg "confidential docs"), then create a smart album with the two "and" conditions:


keyword - is - "confidential docs"

and

photo - is - hidden


When you want to hide them again, just change the keyword in the smart album to something that doesn't exist.
