Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?
-
Ente is a great project but with immich as a competitor it has a hard time
What's better about immich? I haven't used either

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.Where I wish it would be:
-
Somewhere where there are more customisationS of how it actually stores files.
-
Somewhere where it's possible to sync instances.
-

Syncing to all of my household's phones was one of my main requirements. So far its working, maybe its been recently updated.
Are they all your phones, or different house members? Can you "pool" your photos together?
We've been doing this with all our phones for a long time using nextcloud. I'd like to use a more photo-oriented app, but the last I tried it, it just wasn't there yet.

I'm still figuring it out. But at the very least, my SO and I both have phones with the Immich app, and auto sync our photos folders to it, and we can both see all of the photos that have been synced.

Immich has traction. That's why it stands out from all the other projects, imo.

It'll be good if it can be decrypted by the device itself. Almost perfect security tbh
The problem here is, that the server does a lot of image processing to generate various thumbnail sizes. This is the main reason images in the gallery load so fast when scrolling. But to archive this, the server needs to read the image which would not work with e2e.

I'm just learning about the software but all the tasks you listed (crop, rotate and adjust), can be done easily with imagemagick simple one-liners.
For example:
Convert in.jpg -rotate out.jpgOr
Using the auto-orient option or using jhead.
Why is it so hard for this app to implement it?
Former Immich dev here:
Even in the early days, we got hundreds of different feature requests that “can be done easily”.
Even this example is a lot harder than you might think.- Since all clients work differently, this probably has to be done server-side, requires a new endpoint, caching logic, client support.
- Immich supports a ton of file formats, the solution has to work with all of them.
- We must not lose meta data, quality or alter the image in some other way, Immich is a backup tool, file integrity is a top priority.
If you have an idea, how to tackle all of this, contact the dev team on Discord, they’re really helpful and will surely guide you through the process of implementing.

What do you mean by container crutch?
Containers carry concerns around validation of container contents and, by extension, host contents. This has been well-discussed and is beyond the scope here.
But I do hope for an installation free of container mess.

Man, you're the one who came in and said Immich could be used by professional photographers. Don't make dumbshit statements and then get pissy when others explain how you're wrong.
Are you a professional photographer?

Are you a professional photographer?
wrote last edited by [email protected]No, just an amateur with an old Nikon D3100 and a couple lenses. Though I have a few family members who are professional wedding/family photogs. Usual equipment for them is a mac of some sort with lots of storage and Adobe Creative cloud (or whatever they call it).
I don't understand why this is so difficult to comprehend - Pros don't use gallery-focused applications like Immich or Google Photos as their primary backup solution. This is not a thing that happens. If someone does use that kind of application, then they are the exception and not the rule.

But those are concerns for all containers, and not really an immich issue.

I see. Thanks for the link! I might try out immich once they have a stable version, but I might try out ente before that
