Change space and view after login to Synology Photos

[SynoMan]

Just wondering if this is happening only to me.

When I log in to Synology Photos I get the Shared space page:

After that, I need to manually switch to Personal space. And on top of it, I get the folder view although my last setting was timeline view (so switch it manually again, every time):

This is not happening for me, unless I delete the cookies for diskstation. Means this setting is stored by client, and not on server from my understanding.

Hmm, when I type in the address field:

https://photos.example.com

I got redirected to:
https://photos.example.com/#/shared_space/folder/1

Cookies cleared in the browser.

I am sorry, only half of my statement was correct...

When I log in to Synology Photos, I check "stay logged in". Then when I go back to Synology Photos at later stage, settings like above are remembered.
If I clear cookies OR log out, I have to log in again next time and settings are not remembered. Means I seem to have same behavior than you describe. Only difference might be, that I usually check "keep logged in" and therefore do not see the issue.
(as I log into Synology Photos using different domain than when using DSM, I can safely stay logged in and it is not affected whatever else I do on DSM)

BTW: Android photos app also does not remember view preferences after you log out

Thank you for confirming this behaviour.

If I'm not logged in then the initial connection is to the shared space, as a public album but there's nothing being shared. I then click the top-right greyed icon and log in. I'm now logged in to Photos but still in the shared space. Slightly irritating to have to move to the personal space each time.

If use https://sub.mydomain.com/<package alias> and log into, e.g., Drive then using the app selector I can open a window to Photos and that open the space that I was last browsing.

When I log in, it defaults to shared space for me. I don't really use the shared space very often so it's not like its remembering my last view. It's just randomly defaulting to the shared space.

It looks like this is not an issue for me when I do logout - login. Photos remember Shared - Personal space, and Timeline - Folder view.
