v1.98.0

Announcement

The logo design contest has ended on March 4th, 2024.

We had an internal voting round with the core team members and contributors. The winner is @Tyree, with the design below.

We are planning to roll out the new logo in the near future.

Thank you all for your contributions and discussions. We are very happy to have such strong community engagement.

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.98.0 of Immich. We are pleased to introduce many new features, quality of life improvements and bug fixes in this release—some of the highlights below.

• Move library settings to the Administration page - Simplify the external library setup process.
• Context search with people filtering.
• File name and file extension search.
• Add an option to disable the required password change when creating a new user.
• Show people in the information sheet on the mobile app.
• A configurable timer is used to delete a user permanently.

Move library settings to the Administration page

We moved all library settings under the Admin settings to reduce the complexity of setting up external libraries and lay the groundwork for sharing external libraries between users.

Context search with people filtering

Thanks to @michelheusschen's help in solving the technical challenges of combining contextual search results with people filtering, it is now possible to search for "person in red dress" and choose only the people that you would like to see in a red dress.

File name and extension search

You can now search for file name and file extension again as free text search. For example, you can search for all Nikon photos with NEF or nef, or search for file names such as IMG_1234.JPG with 123 or 234 as the search query.

Show people the information sheet on the mobile app.

You can now see the people detected in a photo/video in the detail sheet on the mobile app.

Option to disable required password change for new user creation

Configurable timer for user deletion

This setting can be found in the server settings in the Administration page. You can now adjust how long until a user gets permanently removed from the server.

And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

Full Changelog: v1.97.0...v1.98.0

This discussion was created from the release v1.98.0.

[Chaphasilor]

Amazing. I've had "gripes" with many of the things that were improved with this update in the past, so this update really adds a lot of value for me!
Thanks for all of your work, and congrats on the new logo. But I'm curious, which font will be used in the end?

[desmond206x]

The new logo is looking great!
Thanks for the update. Showing the people faces in the mobile is very nice.

[daniele-athome]

Packed with features! And a very nice brand new logo.
Thank you!! I hope I'll be able to contribute again to this great project soon.

[rosscullen]

Thank goodness for new logo!

[Shisharo]

Great update as always. Just a bit sad about the logo change since it became a bit generic and lost the personal touch and meaning it had with Alex's love for Japanese culture

[aviv926]

Thanks for the update.
Congratulations to the winners!

With the new update, an external library is "imposed" on the user without being able to cancel it, am I right?

[jrasm91]

I think that is the idea moving forward. Specifically being able to share the same library with multiple users. We can take into consideration an "invite" process maybe, although shared albums work the same way (no invite).

[aviv926]

I think that is the idea moving forward. Specifically being able to share the same library with multiple users. We can take into consideration an "invite" process maybe, although shared albums work the same way (no invite).

Well even an option to choose whether to appear in the timeline or not for a specific library would be good, because albums by default don't appear in the timeline (and they can't either).

[jrasm91]

Yeah, it makes sense. The admin had to help the user setup the external library to begin with so we just decided to have them do all of the setup instead. In the future we hope to add more options and flexibility around how they are used, which I think will address the concerns you are raising here, which are valid.

[etnoy]

As you can tell, we've been improving libraries almost every release. File watching, removing the external path headaches, performance etc. In my own opinion, there is so much potential we can still unlock with libraries. Browsing specific libraries and excluding them from the timeline is on the roadmap, but as always, no ETA. I really want to get to per-library sharing, too, but this might require some additional work on the underlying architecture.

[Chaphasilor]

Sharing libraries with multiple users would be really useful indeed. I just imported 150k family photos, but it's not super useful since they're tied to one specific account.

Family sharing is currently a bit hard to do, but I'm sure you'll get there, you're making great progress already!

[seanmuth]

New logo is great!

[othyn]

Love the new logo, it very much modernises it! It will fit much nicer alongside my other home screen apps now :D

[fscheps]

These updates look awesome!
One comment, the demo site looks completely empty: https://demo.immich.app/photos

[bcsteeve]

I had no problem with the old logo, but I gotta say the new one is pretty sharp! Well done.

[eil047]

Great! Thanks a lot for the search on filename! 😊
