Product:OS X Product Version:Photos 1.0 (209.52.0)
Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
When hiding a photo, Photos.app shows a confirmation dialog:

    Hide 1 Photo
    
    This photo will be hidden from Moments, Collections, and Years but can be found in the Hidden album.
    
    [Cancel] [Hide Photo]

There should be a way to avoid showing this alert.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a photo.
2. Right-click.
3. Choose “Hide 1 Photo”.

Expected Results:
The resulting alert has a “Don’t show this again” checkbox.

Actual Results:
It does not. There is no apparent way to avoid seeing this alert every time you hide a photo. This gets annoying after the seventh or eighth time.

Notes:
I’m not married to the on-alert checkbox; I would be satisfied by other ways to avoid this alert, like having a checkbox in Preferences or skipping the alert when Option is held. This is just the most obvious and discoverable way to do it that I could think of.
