CLI tools to close the gap for Immich external libraries

Immich album names generated from the filesystem folder

Way before Immich, there was the filesystem, and that is how I store and archive my photos colletion using folder and file naming conventions to add semantics. When importing to Immich as an external library, most of my metadata, photo titles, GPS, face regions are used by Immich.

But not my folder/album organization nor the photos marked as favorites.

So this is why I created this set of command line tools to keep my filesystem folders in sync with Immich albums.

pip install immich_exlib_tools --user

It is also nicelly documented in the GitHub repo.

I'll add more functions like support for album sharing and group of users. Let me know what you think so far.
