#Reupload/sync edited images

Hi all, what's the best way of working for this situation?

  1. I take a picture with my android phone
  2. Immich syncs it in the background
  3. I notice it's in a wrong orientation and rotate it
  4. It's already on the immich server and won't get reuploaded after editing it

Is the only solution to increase the background upload delay? But sometimes I notice it a day later or so and then I'd have the same problem.

Same goes for photos deleted on the phone but already uploaded. I guess Immich was supposed to be a backup solution to be used every few days and that's why there's no sync.
Of course, if everything was always synced, you wouldn't be able to clean up your phone because it would also remove everything on the server...

There's a open PR for adding some minor editing functionality. So it will probably make it in at some point: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/3271

When I go into google photos and rotate a photo, it saves a new copy, that copy then gets uploaded to immich and I can delete the original.

If you already deleted on your phone, then you will either have to download the photo on your pc or phone, edit and then sync it.

Yeah I saw that PR and I'm looking forward to it 🙂 I would be happy to see the rotate (and maybe crop) functionality soon, the rest of the PR could probably wait 😄 Otherwise it could take a while until it's done

It's already been a bit, so wouldn't hold your breath as an FYI. I don't think it's anyones priority currently from what I have seen.

Yeah I know...

Well if anyone has other workarounds or way of workings for this, I'm curious 🙂

Any changes to the original file are discouraged

#

However rotations can be done through EXIF metadata and I think we fully handle that. We support XMP sidecars so you could use something like exiftool to write rotation metadata to sidecar files next to the originals and then have immich scan for those

Ok I did a test, note it will work but if you don't zoom the image won't change because it loads the thumb, after you zoom it loads the original image.

Therefore, if you decide to make such a change, be sure to apply it to all thumb images.

Have you tried regenerating thumbs?

#

If thumb generation doesn't take rotation into account then that's a bug

This Google Photos feature is really cool.

It'd be cool if we could get this, but for all images.
