An initial library scan with 19k assets: 1m40s down to 9 seconds.
Insane!
I love the new features. It’s the small things, like locating an image on your timeline from an album, that make a difference. The improvements to external library scanning are promising. When I transfer my DSLR images to the Immich external library, it used to miss a few images, and I always had to rescan manually. I hope this update fixes that issue.
What is an “Immich external library”? I’m a user of Immich but not sure what that means.
How far away is stable release? Timeline says early 2025 which is kind of now. Tbh I might install it now anyway, doesnt seem to be many breaking changes anymore
What has to be fixed for me to use it in production is the apps connection to the back end to not break every time it’s updated. Because on iOS app updates are forced, but the server I update less frequently and if they’re not the same version the app doesn’t work.
For what it’s worth, I only ever had that be a problem once in the past year I’ve been using Immich. And I don’t update more than once a month. I think it is uncommon anymore for them to release updates for the app that are incompatible with various sever version iterations.
