#Adding images to locked folder via the explorer view | API usage for workaround

Hello, sry if Discord is not for feature requests, but there is something which I would suggest to implement to raise productivity.

I am using immich with external libraries and want to lock an amount of Images from it (folder based) - the best would be if there is a possibility to automatically lock specific folders from external libraries like the exclude-folder-list in scan settings, but I don't know how difficult this is to implement.

Another option would be the explorer view:
You can open it by the URL "immich.domain.tld/folders") and there you can browse into the folders, but when you are selecting images from here, you don't have the ability to send them to the locked folder, like in the timelime view.

This would help me so much - is there something planned?
I think this would make much sense for people who are working with presorted external libraries.

I played around some hours to code a PHP curl script to realize this feature for on-demand-use, it is working good. But I also realized that the API method "getAssetsByOriginalPath" doesn't show the assets which are locked or hidden, which is a bit strange, because in the API documentation the visibility-key shows all possible values it can have and locked/hidden are two of them.
As I understand, it should be possible at the moment with the searchAssets method to find locked assets, but I only get the following error (using an API key from the external library owner (=admin) with all the permissions I could chose in the GUI):

[message] => Elevated permission is required
[error] => Unauthorized
[statusCode] => 401

I checked the searchAssets method and for all other criteria than "visibility: locked" it is working, just this criteria is a problem?

my curl (directly executed in the immich docker container):
curl -X POST -L "172.10.10.16:2283/api/search/metadata" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "x-api-key: some-api-key-with-all-permissions" -d '{"visibility":"locked"}'

my result:
{"message":"Elevated permission is required","error":"Unauthorized","statusCode":401,"correlationId":"pqgysjub"}

Can I enable any logging to analyze the problem further with the correlationId?

Locked is the private folder. You need to auth with the PIN code

burnt wyvern
#

and how do I do this in an api-call?

grand edge

It’s documented in the API docs

#

I don’t have it on hand
