v1.104.0

v1.104.0

Caution

EXTERNAL LIBRARY EDITABILITY

For external library users, you can now manage your assets directly from Immich's user interface, i.e. you can edit date/time, location information, and delete from the web and the mobile app.

If you don't want Immich to handle those operations, please make sure to have the read-only, i.e., :ro flag on your mount point in the docker-compose.yml file.

Live stream - Immich Q&A ft. Eron Wolf & Louis Rossmann from FUTO

Last week, we had a live stream to answer your questions about Immich joining FUTO. You can watch the VOD here.

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.104.0 of Immich. This release includes new features, bug fixes, and improvements. The core team will now focus on tasks to bring us to a stable release. The highlights of this release can be found below.

• Editability of external library
• Notification foundation - SMTP Email

Editability of external library

Yes, we've heard you guys! You can now edit date/time and location information and even delete assets in an external library directly from Immich. If you don't want to use this feature, you should make sure to have the :ro flag on your docker mount in the docker-compose.yml file.

Notification - SMTP Email

Thanks, @hitech95, for kickstarting this feature,@jrasm91, and @danieldietzler for finishing it. We now have basic notification built-in, using email. The first mechanism that uses email is to send an email to a new user with information about the account and the instance they were invited to.

Full Changelog: v1.103.1...v1.104.0

---

This discussion was created from the release v1.104.0.

[fwsmit]

It seems the link in the email would only open in the browser, not in the app. It would be nice if there was a button in the email to open the app directly with the right server filled in. This would probably require to use an immich.app domain with some hint in it.
This is one of the ways in which self hosting gives a worse user experience. It's hard or sometimes impossible to get it right though

[jrasm91]

I think we are going to look into this

[alex-007]

Does someone know how to set up SMTP server, so gmail will agree to get emails from it?

[Me-Mr]

Gmail might be the easiest to setup https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en

[alex-007]

I don't have a Google Workspace. Also I don't want to set my own email as credentials (it will store the sent emails to my Sent folder in Gmail, which will brake the privacy of my relatives)

[alextran1502]

You don't need Google Workspace, you can use App Password instead https://mailtrap.io/blog/gmail-smtp/

[nicomerl]

I changed some of the Meta-Data of pictures and videos in the past. If i am right i read somewhere that, right now, the Data is not changed but stored somewhere else.

Is this still the case? Would it be possible to change the original files metadata?

I would like to have all my pictures with the correct metadata in den /upload -Folder if i need to restore.

[haldi4803]

THIS!
When i read "EXTERNAL LIBRARY EDITABILITY" i tought it would actually be possible to edit exif Metadata of the Pictures!
But actually NO. it doesn't.
It simply adds an additional .xmp file with the same name that has the changes inside.

<?xpacket begin='' id='W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d'?>
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x='adobe:ns:meta/' x:xmptk='Image::ExifTool 12.84'>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>

 <rdf:Description rdf:about=''
  xmlns:pdf='http://ns.adobe.com/pdf/1.3/'>
  <pdf:CreationDate>2024-04-04T13:10:00.000+09:00</pdf:CreationDate>
 </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
</x:xmpmeta>
<?xpacket end='w'?>

So if i send the file to a friend after editing Timezone or Date he will still have the file with the wrong infos.

But after looking into it, it seems like metadata editing is a PITA, so i can see why they opted for this way.

[mertalev]

I don't think this is any different than for uploaded assets. We have a general rule of not messing with the original file.

[MickLesk]

@alextran1502

i have now changed some german translations :-) that sounds a bit better in word and writing. (localizly)
(for the next version :P)

[weexceptions]

Browser upload seems broken lables
It shows UPLOAD.... instead of speed
&
Success message: Uploaded(Uploading...l

[Solarunit]

I wish I could separate all items in External library from the Photos. For example by showing External library items in new library category:

• Favorites
• Albums
• External library items ⬅️
• Trash
• ...
