v1.114.0

v1.114.0

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.114.0 of Immich. Who doesn't love a juicy release on a Friday? This release focuses on additional enhancements and bug fixes for recent new features. Please find some of the highlights below:

• Tag improvements (including Lightroom support)
• Import faces from EXIF and XMP sidecars (Digikam format)
• Better handling of timezones
• Upload panel **New look**
• Automatic database reconnection

Tag improvements

Since the last release, when we introduced support for tags, we have made a few changes based on your feedback.

• We now support reading from HierarchicalSubject. Values will be parsed as hierarchical tags, with | as a delimiter.
• We now only read from Keywords as a fallback when no hierarchical tag information is available
• We have fixed a bug where you could not remove the last tag from EXIF/XMP.

NOTE: these changes apply to the metadata extraction job. To apply them to your photos and videos, re-run metadata extraction.

Import faces from metadata

This release adds the ability to read face metadata in Digikam format during metadata extraction, increasing interoperability with other software and laying the foundation for faces from sources other than machine learning.

Note that there are certain limitations with these faces. These limitations may be removed in a later release:

• Assets that contain face metadata are skipped during face detection
• Faces from metadata are not considered during facial recognition
• Faces from metadata are grouped into people based on name
• Only face metadata in Digikam format is supported

You can enable this feature by going to Administration > Metadata Settings.

Better handling of timezones

This version fixes some issues related to how timezone offsets are parsed and how timezones and offsets are displayed. The offset is now parsed correctly for photos and videos taken with the "+00:00" offset (e.g., several African countries, Iceland, Portugal/UK/Ireland in winter).

If you notice that the "+00:00" offset is not shown correctly, please re-run the "Extract Metadata" job on all photos and videos.

Upload panel

The upload panel has a new look! It works the same as before, except that duplicates are no longer automatically cleared from the queue. They will remain behind, along with a clickable icon, that links to the deduped image.

Automatic database reconnection

Previously, when the connection to the database was interrupted for any reason (restart, timeout, network interruption, etc.), the server would never reconnect. Restoring the connection required a container restart. Now, the server will automatically try to reconnect every 5 seconds indefinitely.

This discussion was created from the release v1.114.0.

[maxshcherbina]

Thanks Immich team for the quick turnaround on bugs and features! <3

[ok1ok1]

Nice update. Just curious, is it possible to search by embedded keywords? It seems they get picked up as tags but so far as I can tell they are not searchable. Maybe I'm missing something.

[mertalev]

Not yet, but this is definitely planned.

[aamirazad]

Who doesn't love a juicy release on a Friday?

Nothing has gone wrong by deploying on a friday..

[chriswa81]

Would it be possible in future not only to regularly check the connection to the database and re-connect if necessary, but also the connection to the mounted external upload target?
If the connection is interrupted, I can mount it again using a cronjob. But I still have to restart the immich container once afterwards.
Would a reconnection also be possible here in the future?

Thank you very much.

[DeltaTango69]

In Google Play Store no update is available. It's still the 1.113.1?

[sigulete]

The link to Repair page has disappeared.
I still can access repair https://<my-server>/admin/repair but there is no item in the menu.

[mio-19]

Full Changelog link is broken. It links to https://github.com/immich-app/immich/compare/v1.113.1. The correct link might be https://github.com/immich-app/immich/compare/v1.113.1...main

[jrasm91]

Fixed

[mio-19]

The changelog link still renders incorrectly on my browser

It still links to https://github.com/immich-app/immich/compare/v1.113.1

[jrasm91]

Fixedddddddd

[rbrianza]

Thank you for this awesom app, i am in the progress of moving from google photos to immich.
I have some questions concerning the tags functionality:

1. Is there a possibility to add selected Tags to a shared Album?
   The popup menu for the selected items is missing on https://<my-server>/tags?path=<tagname>
2. Is it possible to also view the tagged photos from the shared partner?
   On https://<my-server>/tags?path=<tagname> i only see mine
3. Is it possible to also add tags to shared photos from a partner?

Thanks in advance for your reply

[C-Otto]

Short answer: No. Longer answer: for shared assets (or albums), you only get to see the asset itself. You don't share any of the other features (tags, faces, rating, ...). I, personally, would also like to see this change, which might happen in a future version.

[dlang123]

Tags, I had previously done an import of Metadata and have lots of tags for Instance, on pics that were Studio,PinkDress,5x7 in lightroom those were hierarchy tags. We would get a Tree that was
Studio
-PinkDress
--5x7

But the original import made them one Tag, and then with the Tag fixes now they are individual tags. 2 Questions here:

1. Do I have to manually delete the single tags now? the Studio,PinkDress,5x7 one because now I have a Studio tag, a PinkDress tag, and a 5x7 tag.
2. Any thoughts on having a tag hierarchy like Lightroom use to do?

[jrasm91]

Sounds like you need to rerun metadata extraction.

[dlang123]

Sounds like you need to rerun metadata extraction.

I'll run it again. I ran it once after I upgraded to 1.115, but will try again.

[jrasm91]

Maybe you can upload a test image here as a zip and I can take a look.

Also you can rerun metadata extraction for one asset from the /photos page, but if you did it in 115 already something else is likely going on.

[dlang123]

drone sunset (23 of 26).zip
Yeah I have run it a few times. We could just be talking past each other or maybe I don't understand how the tags show for you guys.

[jrasm91]

[jrasm91]

None of these of nested tags:

  "Subject": ["dji","drone","sunset"],
  "HierarchicalSubject": ["dji","drone","sunset"],
  "Keywords": ["dji","drone","sunset"],

[dlang123]

None of these of nested tags:

  "Subject": ["dji","drone","sunset"],
  "HierarchicalSubject": ["dji","drone","sunset"],
  "Keywords": ["dji","drone","sunset"],

Thanks. That explains it. They were at one time, something must of changed them before Immich.
