Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?
-
From my testing today, you can only rotate a photo using the mobile app, and even then you have to save it locally and re-upload the rotated photo. Thus creating a separate, mostly duplicate photo! This is essentially a metadata orientation update, or it could be more. Immich seems to incorrectly orient a lot of photos that other applications have no problem with. The devs are aware of it and have been discussing this since at least 2022, possibly longer. There are also a number of feature/pull requests on the github page covering rotation, photo editing, cropping, etc. Personally, I don't care about editing/cropping. I consider those edits which should result in a separate asset, possibly linked back to the original.
For me, this is probably the biggest missing feature for Immich. They've done some really amazing things in the past couple years, but this seemingly basic feature remains missing.
I've never used it, but one should also ask a
what kind of 90 degree rotation does it do. Good image editors can do lossless 90 degree JPEG rotation, meaning they don't compound the JPEG lossiness and potential artifacts every time. -
Copying this from Reddit (I still get the daily emails). Since I no longer post there, I figured I would ask here, and include my prediction:
Will be more popular, possibly in stable release. Still won't be able to rotate photos natively.Shift+click a range of images to add them to a location in batch, please.

Unless you're a professional photographer who likes self hosting..
A professional photographer doesn't use cloud storage to store the GBs of RAW files from their shoots

Just out of curiosity, what's the use case for having all your photos actually on the phone as opposed to remote access from your phone?
Backup, redundancy, easy access..
If my server goes down I don't have the time to fix it at the moment.Also the photos app on my phone is quite good, so I find it very easy to find old pictures quickly.
I also prefer offline-capable solutions

Maybe I misunderstand, but can't you do this already? I do this all the time when adding to albums at least.
-
Maybe a simple photo editor would fit in nicely?
Basic photo editing capabilities are planned after stable release, this year
That's what they said last year! And the year before!
Maybe not the stable part.

I have no more wants of Immich, it does everything that I need lol
Basic editing, plus full implementation in tag view woulf be nice. Also the mobile app needs a little work still. Oh, also pet recognition would be cool. All of those are planned, although the last one needs some external stuff before they can do it.
And a few other tweaks and QoL improvements here and there. But it's really close.

Manual ordering of images in albums is an absolute must before I adopt any image management system. It’s wierd to me that seemingly none of the FOSS systems support it (considering that most of us are datahoading control freaks).

There's nothing in the rulebook saying that image hosting software can't play basketball!

In immich web try this: select an image, the next image leave it unselected, shift+click and select a third image. The second image should be selected, so all three images are selected.

Makes organizing photos a breeze. Immich is by far the best software currently. But hopefully the setup becomes less of a hassle.

That would be an insane amount of phone storage. I don't think a single available smart phone could sync an entire professional library of photos. Especially considering how large each photo is.

Why not? They absolutely should be using something like Backblaze. In fact someone who has digital photos as their business would be dumb not to use cloud storage.

That sounds intended? Have you tried Ctrl+click to skip the second image?

Brand new Immich user here. Love the project and I hope it goes far!
Also maybe I'm not understanding, but the two complaints about it so far in this thread are not being able to sync photos to a phone and not being able to rotate photos and, I'm pretty sure I can do both?
The sync is weird though. I can't say "upload this image" I have to say "keep this whole folder in sync".

But I don't want to skip the second image. I want to select all the images between the first click and de second click. This is something that is standard in many applications.

Hmm, I agree, your last comment made it sound like that was the current behavior with shift
