How Do I - Multiple categories / Albums for a single image

Problem:
Single Image ie; whale tail with mountains in the background.
Would fit in albums: whales, marine mammals, nature, mountains

Suggested Best Solution for quickly adding a single photo and assigning it to multiple albums: ?

Thanks.

Yes but there is no 'searching' based on a tag word and I'm looking for people to be able to use the search field. Though tags are extremely useful, if the number of tags grows quite large it would not be user friendly for people to have to identify their keyword in the list of tags. It would be far more likely for them to search for a word that comes to mind.

Now, if the search could be linked to include 'tags' that would be just fine.

IMHO the ability to assign one single image to multiple albums at the same time is very important feature.
I need the particular photo belong to personal album of author, (e.g. album "John") and at the same time also to topics album (e.g. album "Nature").
The album "Nature" should contain images of this topic from different authors, like "John", "Peter", etc.
And vice versa, Peter's album should also contain photos, which belong to common nature album as well.
Now we cannot achieve this.
I chose gallery 3 for the needs of our photoclub gallery seven months ago, since I considered this feature obvious.
Anyway, it is a great product, I like its compact form. I think this is the way to go, not mammoth and hardly manageable applications.

When can I expect this functionality?
Is it planned into 3.0 version?

This would be a very similar feature to the already a few times requested "Favorite Album". I agree with andysalay: This would be a very useful feature, which could be used for a bunch of different needs.

I tried the "Tag photo" option. I tagged my favorite photos with a tag called "Favorite". Then i created a link to all my tagged photos. Everything is working as expected until here. But when i preview one of my favorite photos and click to the "previous" or "next" button, i don't see the prev. next favorite photos. I then see the prev. next photo of the original album the photo is stored in. This is not a solution for my needs. A module which can do the above mentioned would be great.

Yes, before the first beta, I knew about G2, and I was sure G3 will be much better and solid. I like the user base and helpfulness of the coders, and I was sure this is the way to go. Not only code itself make a good app, the support is contributing with a great deal as well.
I knew that in G2 is that functionality. (Through a module, though, but it doesn't matter - the feature was available) I did't expect such natural feature to be omited.

I do confirm it would be a very useful feature. In my case I have some thousands pictures of statues, paintings, bronzes artefacts, ceramics, etc. coming from about a hundred museums, exibitions, excavation sites, etc.
I would like of course to create galleries showing the pieces by location (British Museum, Archeological Museum of Rabat, archeological site of Velia, archeological site of Oropos, ...) but also by type (all the statues, all the ceramics) and sub-type (all the statues which are copies of the original Venus de Milo, etc.) : I would thus really need such a functionality.

If Gallery (either version 2 or 3) can't really supply me with this kind of opportunities can I find them in another tool ? Coppermine or other ?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, we are hearing that G2 can do this. However, we really enjoy the new interface of G3 and this would be a feature that would seem to be most broadly needed by many. For instance, even a picture of Uncle Joe going fishing would spawn a need for Joe to be in two albums. One for Fishing pictures and another for Family. More thoughts...
