Empty explore page when only having photos from an external library of a partner

[granite sedge]

Hi!

I am not sure if this is the intended behaviour.

My user is the admin user. I have an external library (mounted as readonly). I added another user as a partner. The partner has enabled to show the photos of my library in the personal library. The partner doesn't have any "personal" photos, only the ones from my shared library.

I can see face detection results in my "Explore" page. The partner's Explore page is empty. I would have expected to see the same Explore page on the partner's user because the partner can see the same photos.
Is this intended behaviour?

Partner sharing doesn't show up in explore atm

@tired magnet Ok thanks for letting me know. Can you guess how much work needs to be done to implement this? Is it more or less a data retrieval issue or is there something larger to be done to implement this? Do you know of any discussion regarding this?

Mostly the permissions/access control mechanisms for internal sharing are a bit ad hoc at the moment, so those need cleaning up. That work is in the pipeline though

Ok, I found this discussion: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/5089 and https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/7045 for future reference.

And I wanted to say thanks, Immich is such a great tool. I use it exclusivly to make old family photos available to my family. I never expected the face detection to be so good. My family loves it.
