One of the biggest challenge I faced when I migrated from Google photos to immich is that there are roughly around 10,000 faces I need to map to people, sadly Immich doesn’t support any filtering and sorting for this which made it pretty difficult for me to map them.
Today I tried to solve it with this implementation
🔎 Filtering
In this release I brought in two filters that will greatly help you in finding the right ones to tag.
Max Asset Count:
Imagine you’re in the game of hiding off unwanted or random people’s face but you don’t know how to find it quickly, then its a nightmare mainly when you’ve case like me of 10,000 images.
To solve this I brought in Max Asset Count where you can filter faces that are only in 5-10 photos and you know they are mostly not so close people whom you can ignore and hide.
Note
Immich has this feature in settings to hide people less than a specific number of assets, but doing it on the fly when you're filtering different aspect is something that would help us a lot is the idea.
Show Only Nameless:
Every got annoyed by seeing already tagged people again and again? This is exactly why this new filter is. When you tag someone take them off your list and worry only about the people who aren’t and get your work done faster.
For me it worked more like a checklist 🚀
🌪️ Sorting
Based on asset count
This was done with the pure intention of letting users juggle between people with more number of occurrence and the ones who comes once in a blue moon.
Based on updated time
Lost a record while you’re on an tagging spree? This comes handy, if you want to find someone you recently edited or whom you rarely edited.
More features are coming soon! Stay tunes for updates.
