If you load multiple albums into Picard and let them recognize, they finally are available on the right side of Picard. You see a golden CD with (or without) a tiny red star icon on it.
If you select ONE of this albums and press the "Submit AcoustIDs"-Button, not only the information from this selected album will be submitted. It seems that the informations from ALL of the available albums on the right side will be submitted.
if i remember correctly, this was not the case in the previous Picard versions.

[PICARD-2134] "Submit AcoustIDs" submit ALL available fingerprint data, not only the selected ones
I keep this open anyway. The issue of more transparency and control in AcoustID fingerprint submissions comes up frequently. I think this ticket at its core is exactly about this.
I don't yet know exactly how to best handle it, but some kind of better information at the time the user uses the submission button would be required.
zas also recently brought up the idea of making Picard in general more workflow aware, from starting an external CD ripper over matching and tagging files to final data submission (which could include more than just the fingerprints).
If Fingerprint submission has always submitted all fingerprints in the submission list, I'm not going to keep pushing this ticket.
This should also not be a (new) performance problem at AcoustID.org
Fingerprint submission has always submitted all fingerprints in the submission list, this has been that way since Picard exists (even before AcoustID).
I also don't think we should change it in general. For one, this would be a really unexpected change. Also for me this makes fingerprint submission more complicated than it needs to be.
What I could imagine instead would be a submission dialog that shows you which fingerprints it would submit, where one can double check if they want to.
I would like to suggest a textual improvement for more transparency:
Rename the "Submit AcoustIDs" Button to something like
a) Submit to AcoustID.org
b) Submit FP to AcoustID (or AcoustID.org)
c) Submit Fingerprint (like "Generate Fingerprint")
Maybe in addition with a longer tooltip like the one on "Generate Fingerprint":
d) Submit the generated audio fingerprints to AcoustID (or AcoustID.org)
e) Submit the generated audio fingerprints and metadata to AcoustID (or AcoustID.org)
f) Submit the generated audio fingerprints for the selected files* to AcoustID (or AcoustID.org)
*which is currently not possible
