Uff that's a bit of a deal breaker.
I've tried Immich before and it's fine for uploaded photos because it detects it's the same photo even if you rename it. But as long as it doesn't do that for photos from external libraries I can't trust to put anything into its albums. And if I can't use its albums to organize and everything is dumped into one big pile it's a show stopper.
The only workaround I can think of would be to make multiple users and load different external libraries to different users, but it's not a great solution. The mobile app doesn't support multiple users anyway, I'd have to logout and login all the time.
There Is a CLI tool to upload folders as albums and it keeps them as their original folders. The CLI didn't work for me and I've read others had the same issue. Found a solution was to use immich-go which is a tool someone else made and it worked for me.
Tried to upload a screenshot but it's not working 🤔
Thanks anyway but until Immich can deduplicate photos from libraries it's a no-go for me. If I move or rename photos on folders I would lose album association as it is now.
Tried again and it worked lol. This is albums from folders in a file directory uploaded to immich using immich-go.
All good, just sharing my experience... I'm enjoying immich. 🤷♂️
