Enjoy!
I'm having a hard time getting into software that doesn't use traditional folder structures. I wish I could point immich to my NAS Pictures folder and have multiple places to seen the same exact files, immich when I want, nextcloud maybe, or just a file browser pointed to my NAS.
I'm having the same issue with paperless-ngx. I set it up and it's cool, but why can't I just point it to my Documents folder? I'm getting all of my 2023 taxes ready and now I have to upload them into two places, paperless-ngx for my records and Nextcloud so I can ultimately share a link with my accountant.
Am I old man yelling at cloud-ing right now? Why get rid of basic folder structures I just don't get it
There are external libraries in immich. You point folder path to immich and you can see everything, but you cant eddit or delete
Here's the docs: https://immich.app/docs/guides/external-library/
Immich does use traditional folders (it's one of the parameters) but it does a copy there. It stores the pictures in multiple formats/resolutions and does some caching and whatnot, so it probably wouldn't be a nice sight. Right now. On the other hand it does organize your collection in the pattern that you give it, for instance year/month/day_hour_minute.jpg. It could probably be implemented in the future to have the meta-images somewhere hidden and leave the collection alone, but that all requires effort and coordination. And everyone has their photos organized in their own little snowflake method.
Having said that, I totally understand your point. I'll yell at the cloud with you.
I do the same, but I just upload them to paperless, there is a cronjob doing the paperless export and rclone new exports to my nextcloud.
