Can you elaborate on the feature? It would be nice if you also had some examples. |

i think it is something like, immich notices that you are typically in place x, then notices that you went to place y, it then says here is a "smart album" which is autmatically generated for your trip to y on date. |

Thought of a great but simiple way of auto creating albums prehaps with a (Needs moderation) label. Put a page in user settings or admin where you can add dates for birthdays of you and significant others. Even have options for anniversarys and such You could use this information to auto create simple albums of the day like ' my son, name here 6th birthday (Moderation required)' It's just I often find auto creation based on content never gets it right, so having it this way could be helpful, and a lot less resource intensive Not saying instead of the normal auto albums,just as either a option to use that or this, or as a extra. |

I think it would be a good idea to have a smart album that included photos from a specific source, for example the phone camera. A use case I can think of and would personally use that for is: In a nutshell, what I'm suggesting is to have an album that sorts photos based on device. For example, if I select "iPhone 12" only show pics shot on an iPhone 12. |

I wonder if you actually need any album features for this, or if it really just searching and filtering. I can imagine a situation where you just search by selecting device:phone and you see that subset. |

I think what I'd be looking for here is the ability to create an album based on a given context. Example, I can sort based on a person, allow the creation of an album to have all photos of that person in a sharable album/link. Adding to the album once a new picture is given a relevant tag in the future could be updated as a job function. Similar behavior for any other identifying metric for the picture, date, location, camera, or even manual tags that could be added. |

I really miss this feature from Synology Photos, it would be nice if this is implemented in Immich. |

Hi everybody! Coming from a service that shall remain nameless (but it's Google Photos, really), I would love to have the option to "share a face". Use faces as if they are their own albums, just albums that automatically populate. I use to share this way on Google Photos with trusted friends. (I know it's risky because in case of "misrecognition" you could potentially share something you should'nt with someone else.) |

Hello everyone, thank you for all of the contributions to make IMMICH such a great piece of open source software. This is the last feature that would allow me to pull the plug on Google Photos. I hope we can see something like this in a future release of IMMICH soon! |

I would really like to create albums based on the folder location from my external library. So /import/Work would automatically go into a Work album. |

For dates - I would like it to be able to run the logic on just month day as well, excluding year. This would allow me to create an album that automatically adds each family member's photos to an album for their birthdays throughout the years. E.g. all photos taken any year on Month x day x will automatically be added to album "Person's birthdays". |

Would definitely love to have this feature as this was the one of the cool feature in Google Photos. An album that is auto-updating that uses facial recognition. This way, my kids' album is always updated without me manually sorting it. |

A big question about smart albums is which of these two options would people prefer:

I'm inclined to have it as simple as 'album is any photos containing tag(s) X,Y, and/or Z' that update on some scheduled basis to fit the parameters. This could include not only facial recognition but any arbitrary tag you applied to a photo.
I'm some ad-hoc sense this already happens by virtue of the analytics engine. If I search 'bird' the app will present me with a collection of pictures that it at least thinks are a bird. By allowing manual tags and saving of outputs for a search as an album that handles the creation, maintenance could be a scheduled task to find new add/deletes and update accordingly.

A big question about smart albums is which of these two options would people prefer:
- A readonly album which is automatically updated when photos are uploaded or updated. E.g. if you add a facial recognition tag the image is added to the album or if you remove a person from being tagged in the photo then that photo is removed
- An album where photos are added to it only when the album is created and new photos are uploaded, but not when an image is updated and photos are never removed (e.g. it would not be updated when updating the facial recognition tags per the previous example). However, you can also add additional photos that you select to the album.

Nice work. Definitely will use that for now. Even if it could be nicely implemented as well! I assume you use this documentation Im getting this on your script The api endpoint was deprecated. See above for an adapted script. |
