Search Background

It turns out that synchronizing data between Postgres and Typesense is quite complicated. It accounts for at least an additional 1000 lines of code and, while very feature-filled, has become a burden to maintain. Also, there have been some serious memory and performance issues with Typesense, especially with large photo collections. It is lightning fast, but at the expense of large indexes that must be read from disk into memory on each restart. There have been reports of this process taking up to 30 minutes!

We effectively remove an entire class of bugs and issues by removing the need to synchronize data. Furthermore, search queries can more easily be combined with the existing database schema, like libraries, partner sharing, albums, etc. After merging #3605, we hope to be able to make significant progress around the search implementation and feature set.

In short, some of the benefits of this change include the following:

• One less container to run, deploy, and manage
• Better memory/system resource usage
  • Decreased memory usage
  • Faster Encode CLIP and Recognize Faces jobs
  • Faster startup time
• Significantly less code to maintain, test, debug
• Improved developer workflow when adding search-related functionality
• Ability to integrate smart search into end-to-end testing for improved testing coverage and stability
• Ability to integrate CLIP search with other (metadata) criteria in the future
• Ability to add customizable index settings for even lower memory usage and higher performance, such as on-disk indices and quantization

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.90.0 of Immich. In this release, we introduce the first implementation of asset metadata editing, which includes date, time, and location. This release also contains many improvements and bug fixes. I hope you enjoy this release. Please read the following highlights below:

• Edit metadata.
• Reassign person faces.
• Better handling of iCloud assets.

Edit metadata

This release introduces the first implementation of editing assets.

Web

Mobile App

Bottom Sheet	Edit Date Time	Edit Location	Manual Location

Map Picker	Bottom sheet	Asset without location

You can now edit a photo or video's date, time, hours, timezone, and GPS information. The edited info is written to a companion sidecar file and saved in the exact library location as the original photo or video.

Please note that downloading an asset does not include the sidecar file or edited information yet.

Thanks, @YFrendo, and @jrasm91 for the valuable implementation of this feature. Thanks @shenlong-tanwen for a quick implementation on the mobile app for feature parity

Reassign person's faces

In this continuous enhancement, @martabal has implemented a mechanism to change facial data in a photo from one person to another. There is a bounding box around the person's face in the photo hovered on the face in the detail panel.

Re-assigning faces

Hovering thumbnails

Better handling of iCloud assets

This is the first attempt to improve the backup process for iCloud’s users. We also added a toggle to ignore backing up assets from iCloud; you can find the option in a new Backup Options page on the mobile app.

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

Please consider supporting the project.
