Description

Describe the enhancement you'd like This is referenced in #279 but I thought I'd create a ticket dedicated to this (point 4 in referenced issue) It would be great if we could select the photo to be used as an album cover. This applies to auto generated albums as well as people albums.

Describe why this will benefit the LibrePhotos Sometimes the auto selected picture does not represent the album well. This will improve usability.
