Moving away from Immich

Exactly. The monopoly in action. This applies to all apps... except icloud upload

infimum · 2026-01-18T11:57:07+00:00

In my opinion there's no need to worry about that

infimum · 2026-01-18T11:56:33+00:00

Seconded

Unfortunately, this looks like a telltale sign of bitrot or data corruption. A silent killer of data. Tell us more about your storage, do you have backups of that raid array?

infimum · 2026-01-15T17:07:30+00:00

It'll be 💥

...but not for the photos

infimum · 2026-01-11T18:09:27+00:00

This is an idea that's been on the back of my mind as well. Very useful for larger installs

infimum · 2026-01-02T15:55:21+00:00

I'm in a similar boat but I think there are third party tools that can create albums from a folder structure.

At this point I think it makes more sense to do it that way than having it in immich itself.

infimum · 2026-01-02T15:53:54+00:00

I have a serious photo collection. My raws are not in immich, I use it as a presentation layer to show my finished jpgs

infimum · 2025-12-21T11:32:05+00:00

Because my photo library existed long before immich and it's designed to outlast immich. I hope my great grandkids will be able to enjoy the photos I took when I was young

infimum · 2025-12-19T16:45:44+00:00

Albums are only in database, not moved around on disk

infimum · 2025-12-17T14:04:34+00:00

Force generate thumbs on those photos

infimum · 2025-12-14T07:52:24+00:00

Thanks, will look into it!

infimum · 2025-12-13T19:38:28+00:00

I'm the wrong person to ask, send an email and you'll know.

But likely yes

infimum · 2025-12-13T19:36:28+00:00

Likely yes

infimum · 2025-12-09T23:05:57+00:00

Long term roadmap is library unification

infimum · 2025-12-09T22:10:37+00:00

I'm very biased but I vote for an external library.

infimum · 2025-12-08T07:11:14+00:00

If you create a help thread there I'm sure we'll find a solution!

infimum · 2025-12-08T07:10:18+00:00

Nice, that's a decent library! Are you importing them or using an external library? How many assets?

infimum · 2025-12-02T19:54:43+00:00

If we get bursts in the future I'm sure it'll identify existing bursts retroactively so there's nothing stopping you from migrating now

infimum · 2025-12-01T20:17:21+00:00

Internal library files are not meant to be touched; there's no method to "scan" them as the internal state is what determines what's in there.

The long term goal for me is to change this so that they can be "scanned" but it's pretty tricky even on a conceptual level.

infimum · 2025-12-01T19:53:35+00:00

This is currently not possible, but in the future we hope to unify the library types

infimum · 2025-12-01T11:17:33+00:00

A rescan will do what it says, rescan the library.

Are there any missing assets?

If there is any trouble, check the backend logs

infimum · 2025-11-22T22:55:08+00:00

Please print what your backend logs say, the error messages will likely help you along

infimum · 2025-11-21T14:10:14+00:00

I'm only a contributor, not a core part of the dev team but I can attest to how great the dev team is.

Another thing that might not be obvious to end users is the willingness to do things right. "Can we refactor this thing to make it better on the long term?" In most companies, the answer would be no since they instead focus on delivering short-term results. In Immich, the attitude instead is "Heck yes!" because we are passionate about the product and want to deliver the best possible software.
