[Feature] Image and Video Culling

[jonvdveen]

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

• Yes

The feature

I would like to propose the development of image culling features that would help users clean up image clutter and distill their libraries down to the images and memories that matter to them. In my experience, the MVP version of this would include the following key features:

• Enter a special review/culling mode
• Mark a photo as flagged or rejected with one keystroke (or tap)
• Rate a photo with one keystroke (or tap)
• View the flag and star rating from the thumbnail view
• Filter images by flagged, unflagged, rejected, rating, etc.
• Multi-select images and batch apply flags and ratings

Google Photos and Apple Photos are both pretty terrible at this. The more photos and videos that people accumulate, the more cloud storage they're likely to purchase. I think this is a feature that would be broadly beneficial to Immich users.

I'm hoping that this would be a relatively straightforward implementation. I have some ideas for how Immich might build on this in the future, but if the above MVP features were implemented, I would be pleased as punch!

Cheers! 🍻

Hey @bo0tzz, perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems as though the feature request you linked is not the same.

The one you linked references AI/ML auto-culling. While I think that would be amazing, in my mind, it's not the same as manual culling controls. I'd like to see both implemented, but I think I would always want to have manual functions.

The discussion goes into more detail, and some of the other requests that have been closed as a dupe of that one were more similar to what you're requesting here.

Appreciate the follow-up. I've added my notes to the discussion there.
