Ooh, the workflows idea is interesting.

What I really want is for my photos to expire.

Most of the photos I take are junk photos: a picture of a receipt, a picture of a sprinkler model number, a picture of a random bug I saw while I was cleaning the pool. I just need these photos once and then I never need them again. I wish they would go away on their own.

Of course, there are also times when I do want to keep pictures, birthdays, vacations, etc.

I wish Immich (or someone) would create a camera with a switch that allows you to pre sort images into albums: permanent vs temporary

Of course, the Big Tech guys would never do this because they want you to store all of that junk on their clouds.

But, Immich could actually help trim junk.

[–] BartyDeCanter@piefed.social 22 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

In iOS there is an app called ShutterDeclutter that every day shows you the all photos you took on that day of the year in your collection and has a swipe left/right to delete or keep each one. It makes the job of reviewing photos manageable for people with multi decade long albums. I really want Immich to add that feature.

[–] xistera@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 weeks ago

I use an app called Slidebox on iOS. Every Saturday I review the pictures I've taken with it and either swipe up to delete or send them to an album at the bottom, I only sync the sorted album with immich.

[–] helix@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

For Android there's PhotoSwooper which works somewhat similar @uuj8za@piefed.social

[–] AllYourSmurf@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

This is an excellent idea.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

You don't need to delete them entirely. You can convert a 5MB/22 megapixel JPEG to a 500KB/2 megapixel AVIF that looks 95% as good when viewed on a phone screen.

Of course, I have no idea if immich can do this. It would be nice though.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I just use a different camera app for those kind of pictures (receipts, etc). That camera app is configured to save pix to a location that doesn't get backed up.

As this is version 3.0.0, I'll wait a bit before upgrading.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 30 points 4 weeks ago

Wait for 3.0.3 and then the emergency 3.0.4. 😅

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, even when jumping minor versions they tend to spend a few days/weeks pushing patches, I'll wait a bit before updating.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

They already pushed 3.0.1

[–] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 3 points 4 weeks ago

This is my thought also. v2.7.5 has been stable since April. I'm gonna stick with that for the moment.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago

I updated and quickly found that phone wasn't updating images. But then there was an update for the server and phone app very quickly.

Migration guide - https://immich.app/blog/v3-migration.

[–] uuj8za@piefed.social 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I was just thinking about this the other day: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/tree/main/docker

Make sure to use the docker-compose.yml of the current release: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml

The compose file on main may not be compatible with the latest release.

I definitely have not been checking for updates on the compose files on any of my self hosted apps... I probably should...

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 14 points 4 weeks ago

In all honesty, immich's very opinionated way of doing a compose file gives me so many headaches compared to pretty much every other docker app I use.

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

My upgrade path was breaking by deployment a few weeks ago, seeing the v3 was around the corner and just starting again :)

Sad to see the I can't make a workflow to add photos to an album based on face recognition. Wanted that you have a family album

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago

That's probably coming too. This is the first preview of the feature.

[–] NerdsGonnaNerd@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe thisis interesting to you in the meantime: https://github.com/romainrbr/immich-face-to-album

Why don’t they support Background Resource Upload PhotoKit API on iOS?

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

What is it, restricted access? Am an Android user since 2008 and never had an iOS device so I'm clueless.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

They have a new api that lets photos be backed up in the background similar to how the photos app does with iCloud. But… Immich cannot use it because Apple say you have to hard code the URL. That doesn’t work for self hosting.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Ahahaha, nice. Loosely reminds me of how we looked at implementing share-to-app (when that was a novel thing) in a mobile OS circa 2011 and we looked at how iOS did it. It was a list of hardcoded targets - Facebook, Twitter. No pluggability no nothing. Our product team was like - if no pluggability is good enough for Apple, it's good enough for us!

As an FYI to people who are upgrading and use a preexisting postgres database If you still use pgvectors.rs (if the command \dx on the immich database responds with vectors not vector) you will need to install both pgvector and vectorchord in order to continue using immich. This will require restarting your postgres instance at least once if not twice.

It threw me for a loop at first because of the similar naming. Just thought I would share.

[–] Osiris@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Make sure you take a backup. Changing the docker container nuked my db. Had to restore from a backup

All the HEIC files from my camera are still busted.

To be fair, its a tricky issue. Its camera makers' fault for using a format no one else wants to touch, and rendering them as HDR files instead of SDR with gain maps, as is standard practice for smartphones.

...But still, its annoying. They render fine on my iPhone, on Windows, or KDE Linux, out of the box. But they're completely garbled in Immich :(

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

I've really wanted to ditch JPEG. It's a 34 year old format.

The problem is that AVIF, JPEG-XL and HEIC/HEIF don't work in many places. At a minimum I would want them to display in my gallery app (currently Nextcloud memories), display in a browser, and have native support at an OS level (i.e thumbnail previews). Neither format is close to this.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

JXL is working alright for me.

As an example with a lot of dynamic range, here's a JXL:

JXL image should be here

AVIF:

AVIF image should be here

Both render in my desktop and iPhone browsers, just fine. I bet at least one renders for you. And I made them from RAWs from a really old camera!

The problem is, as you say... arbitrary lack of support. As an example, I can't upload either file to Lemmy. Brand new social media software, and it doesnt' recognize JXL or AVIF as valid image types, even though they should render just fine? Most image hosts wont take JXL either, hence I had to upload them to litterbox since catbox is down!

An HEIF, on the other hand, has basically 0 support outside of Apple:

HIF Image should be here

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

You've demonstrated my point perfectly 😆

The upgrade was pretty trivial from 2.7.5. Minimal changes in the docker compose file if your was up-to-date on 2.7.5. Mostly version changes. No changes needed to .env other than going to v3.

Does anyone know if chunked upload has been implemented? Vital for who's behind cloudflare

What are workflows?

[–] ID10T@programming.dev 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The first preview of Workflows is here! Workflows let you automate actions in your library by chaining triggers, filters, and actions together with a drag-and-drop builder. This is the foundation for many exciting automations to come, and we'd love your feedback as we continue building on it.

It’s a user-friendly way to say “when X happens, do Y”.

Sounds like you should self-host Nextcloud with Tasks and Tasks.org on your phone. 😄

Where is the f-droid client update that belongs to it?

[–] Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 weeks ago

WARNING: current f-droid version is not compatible with latest server version!!

No extra repo and f-droid basic repo does not have it. I took it through obtainium and so had to delete/download the app and redo my settings...
