V1.80.0

We urge all Immich users to update this release as soon as possible, as it fixes a severe security vulnerability caused by a third-party dependency. See below for more details.

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.80.0 of Immich. I just returned from a long vacation to visit my family in Vietnam. The team has been working very productively while I was not actively involved in the development. This makes me happy and proves the project is in good hands.

I am excited to share this release with you, emphasizing bug fixing of the recent new library feature and many further QoL improvements. Below are some of the highlights

• Added mechanism to store generated files for thumbnails and encoded-videos in subfolders.
• Added an ability to suggest people’s names during name assignment for faces.
• Added an option to show the sidebar menu for the people page in the user setting on the web.
• Added week number as an option for path templating.
• Bugfixes related to External Libraries, metadata processing, and Live Photos

Storing generated files for thumbnails and encoded-videos in subfolders

This feature helps improve the performance by storing generated files in subdirectories. This yields smaller directory sizes (in terms of files per directory), decreasing the size of the inode entry.

New asset and face thumbnails will be stored at i.e. 89/ab/, if their id starts with 89abxxxx-xxxx...

We added a Migration job on the Jobs page to migrate the existing directory to this new structure.

The job will perform the following actions:

• Migration job to migrate all files to new folder structure (and possibly more migration stuff in the future)
• Clean up directories if assets/people get deleted

Suggesting people’s names during name assignments for faces

Option to show the sidebar menu for the people page in the user setting on the web.

Add a new account preferenceAccount Settings > Sidebar Settings, which allows a user to enable a sidebar link to "People"

Light	Dark

Option to use week number as an option for path templating

You can now use week numbers ('W') and padded week numbers ('WW') patterns for storage templating.

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

Please consider supporting the project.
