2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    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

    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.

    There are external libraries in immich. You point folder path to immich and you can see everything, but you cant eddit or delete
