Since I haven’t seen it yet, an analogy describes how a comparison you may not be familiar with relates to one you probably are. For example: lamb is to sheep as puppy is to dog. Or murder is to crows like pack is to wolves.
Yes you can do all of that, but it’s saved as a separate asset that is not related in any way to the original. That’s the issue. Also, it would be nice to be able to do these things in the web app as well.
As for syncing, if all your phones are logged into Immich as the same user, you wouldn’t have any issues syncing photos. I don’t thing Immich currently allows sharing assets between users. That can be troublesome for family albums.
I think this highlights the difficulty with “basic” image editing. For example, with G Photos or Mac Photos, or others, you can edit, and the edited version is what you’ll see by default going forward, but the original is still there. This is why I highlighted rotation. That’s strictly a metadata change, AFAIK. Last thing I read on their site was they were hung up getting it to work properly with HEIF.
I believe Piwigo had the first feature you mention. Actually, there are quite a few things from Piwigo I’d love to see implemented in Immich. One that was pretty unique was designating an image as the back of another one, for scanned files. Niche, but really useful in those cases.
Very cool post. I didn’t mean to denigrate the dev team at all. They’ve done incredible work, and I’ve read some of the threads about rotation. They’re definitely aware of the issue, and they want to make sure it’s done right, which I appreciate. Also, it’s FOSS, so I don’t want to be negative about the outlook when its users already get so much more than they pay for!
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.
Fair point, but this assumes I’m relatively intelligent as a middle-aged adult. For the likelihood of that, I’ll refer you to George Carlin’s timeless message about the average person!
Totally agree. At first, they’d think you’re a genius, but you’d only be a genius as an 8 yo. Unless you kept progressing and getting smarter, eventually your age would catch up to your intelligence and you’d just be… well you.
Also, being 8 with the memories and experience of an adult would probably keep us from doing all the dumbass shit we did as kids. Some of it could’ve killed is, but I’m betting most of it was pretty rad at the time.
Unfortunately a lot of stores in my area have either done away with traditional checkout in favor of self-checkout, or they only ever have 1 or 2 registers open. So either way, we get long lines. And they wonder why we buy so much online!
I have a bunch. The original theme songs for Buck Rogers & Battlestar Galactica stand out. Some Archer clips for alert sounds. For awhile there I was making a bunch of them, but I don’t really change them up that much so I stopped.
To a point, yes. While you’re still using air to cool the water, I think it’s still a little more efficient than blindly keeping the server room at a low-ish temperature.
OpenAI underestimates how much the US hates women.
I get it, there wasn’t a proper primary. There also wasn’t time for that. Plus, how many people bitching about the lack is a second primary actually participated in the first ones? Besides, it’s not like she would’ve been VP for a very old president, right? Also, I get it, she was another corpo liberal. More of the same, right? Would’ve been SO MUCH WORSE than what we got. All those people making excuses for why they didn’t vote for her can fuck off. In my eyes, they own a bigger part of this mess than the people who actually voted for our current Emporer.
