The feature

ive been working with claud.ai about cli upload from my nas from multiple folders.
where its one by one so that immich can get the files with hashes.
then the next after waiting up to 25 minutes each for one to complete so that immich is aware of hashed files before sending up another folder.

so this is our discussion.
im thinking what would make this uploading better. is if the cli could be broken up to build hash, and then wait for a command to check hashes against immich , then upload. so that hashes could be ran on multiple folders at once then, upload one by one....

Claude responded: That's a really clever workflow idea! That's a really clever workflow idea! Unfortunately the current Immich CLI doesn't support that split workflow — it's all or nothing: crawl → hash → check → upload in one command.
But you could submit that as a feature request on the Immich GitHub discussions page — it's actually a great idea for people with large libraries spread across many folders. The ability to:

Pre-hash multiple folders simultaneously
Deduplicate across all of them at once
Upload the unique files
