One feature that I hope that Immich adopts is to allow for external libraries to be displayed in an existing folder structure. There’s no built-in way to do this and requires a script that uses albums as a workaround. A lot of photographers have organised folders by date/event that span years/decades, so it’s not practical to create these manually with albums.
The closest I’ve found is a cron script which does album generation automatically, but it’s not a ‘future proof’ solution since it could stop working at any time.
Memories (Nextcloud), Photoprism, and Photoview can do this.
Immich recently changed license from MIT to AGPL. As far as I understand they can’t sinply relicense to a non-free license unless they redo a good chunk of code from the last half a year.
If they still used the MIT license I’d be worried too.
Semantic/licensing quibbles aside, these futo guys seem pretty based (affectionate). They even use the word “normies” in their goals/value statement.
Seriously tho, with power/wealth as lopsided as it is in america, we really need capitalist class traitors to get anything done and I’m glad people like this exist
How does Immich compare to something like PhotoPrism or Piwigo?

Photoview looks nice too, I might try that.
Immich has a big financial backer
This one right? Futo, Please don’t attempt to create your own Open Source Definition
Immich is agpl https://immich.app/blog/2024/immich-core-team-goes-fulltime/
Let’s hope it stays like that!
Let’s hope 🥰
They confirmed it will
Wouldn’t be the first to flip

They would not be able to really. In theory every contributor (or at least the vast majority) would have to agree to that license change.
Still waiting to see any consequence on simplemobiletools

I guess at this point we have to take what we get.
