Photo Albums - links

There appears to be an inconsistency in how displayed thumbnails are linked.

When looking at the Gallery list for a user, clicking on any individual image thumbnail takes you to that Image's detail page.
When looking at a Photo Album list for a user, clicking on any individual image thumbnail takes you to the whole Photo Album.

When our users are trying to copy the link to an image on its gallery page, they will get the correct link of they right-click and copy the link address from a gallery list, but the wrong link if they do the same in a Photo Album.

Is there any chance this could be made to work in the same way?

Hi Lorna
I understand what you are saying but this isn't an inconsistency, as such, but is consistent with the way Jamroom is structured modularly.
When you view a list of a profile's photo albums and click on one of the photos, you are taken to 'a detail' page, but that of the Photo Albums module, not that of the Gallery module. If you then click on the photo you are then taken to the Gallery module detail page.
Hope that makes sense and appreciate that its not what you are expecting or want for your site, but as you know, Jamroom is very flexible and can be made to do this. However, the information needed for this by the PhotoAlbum list template is not available to it and some extra work to provide it would be needed either at a template level to grab the extra data, or at a module level in order to provide it directly.
If the way the module works by default is unacceptable to you let me know and I'll investigate further to see what needs to be done.
Thanks
Paul

Paul, thanks for your full and clear explanation.
It's only a problem because we rely on users to find the link to their reference image and put it in their artwork image caption.
I'll discuss with Roy.

I have noticed another thing with Photo Albums -
If Image Gallery items are deleted, they seem to remain in any Photo Album they've been added to, but are not visisble.
Example...
