From my testing today, you can only rotate a photo using the mobile app, and even then you have to save it locally and re-upload the rotated photo. Thus creating a separate, mostly duplicate photo! This is essentially a metadata orientation update, or it could be more. Immich seems to incorrectly orient a lot of photos that other applications have no problem with. The devs are aware of it and have been discussing this since at least 2022, possibly longer. There are also a number of feature/pull requests on the github page covering rotation, photo editing, cropping, etc. Personally, I don't care about editing/cropping. I consider those edits which should result in a separate asset, possibly linked back to the original.

For me, this is probably the biggest missing feature for Immich. They've done some really amazing things in the past couple years, but this seemingly basic feature remains missing.

Yes, it can do both.

The sync is weird though. I can't say "upload this image" I have to say "keep this whole folder in sync".

There's nothing in the rulebook saying that image hosting software can't play basketball!

Word

Basic editing, plus full implementation in tag view woulf be nice. Also the mobile app needs a little work still. Oh, also pet recognition would be cool. All of those are planned, although the last one needs some external stuff before they can do it.

And a few other tweaks and QoL improvements here and there. But it's really close.

Manual ordering of images in albums is an absolute must before I adopt any image management system. It’s wierd to me that seemingly none of the FOSS systems support it (considering that most of us are datahoading control freaks).

It’s a throwaway address I use for online vendors. Most of those get an addy.io address nowadays, but Reddit still goes to the original address.

TL;DR: I’m aware, thanks.

Maybe I misunderstand, but can't you do this already? I do this all the time when adding to albums at least.

I believe Piwigo had the first feature you mention. Actually, there are quite a few things from Piwigo I’d love to see implemented in Immich. One that was pretty unique was designating an image as the back of another one, for scanned files. Niche, but really useful in those cases.

Just out of curiosity, what's the use case for having all your photos actually on the phone as opposed to remote access from your phone?

You can still use Syncthing to pull photos back to the phone, Immich just stores them in organized directories as normal files.
