v3.0.0
Welcome to Immich v3.0.0!
After months of hard work from the team and our amazing contributors, we're thrilled to announce the next major version of Immich: v3.0.0! 🎉
Breaking changes
This ...
Most of the photos I take are junk photos: a picture of a receipt, a picture of a sprinkler model number, a picture of a random bug I saw while I was cleaning the pool. I just need these photos once and then I never need them again. I wish they would go away on their own.
Of course, there are also times when I do want to keep pictures, birthdays, vacations, etc.
I wish Immich (or someone) would create a camera with a switch that allows you to pre sort images into albums: permanent vs temporary
Of course, the Big Tech guys would never do this because they want you to store all of that junk on their clouds.
I think that would actually be doable in immich.
I’ve read that there is a regex step.
And you could also sort it into albums.
And assuming you can get the info from the API how old an asset and in which album it is (or just parse the items in an album asset group, it can be scriptable to purge items.
I just use a different camera app for those kind of pictures (receipts, etc). That camera app is configured to save pix to a location that doesn’t get backed up.
In iOS there is an app called ShutterDeclutter that every day shows you the all photos you took on that day of the year in your collection and has a swipe left/right to delete or keep each one. It makes the job of reviewing photos manageable for people with multi decade long albums. I really want Immich to add that feature.
I use an app called Slidebox on iOS. Every Saturday I review the pictures I’ve taken with it and either swipe up to delete or send them to an album at the bottom, I only sync the sorted album with immich.
You don’t need to delete them entirely. You can convert a 5MB/22 megapixel JPEG to a 500KB/2 megapixel AVIF that looks 95% as good when viewed on a phone screen.
Of course, I have no idea if immich can do this. It would be nice though.
Ooh, the workflows idea is interesting.
What I really want is for my photos to expire.

But, Immich could actually help trim junk.
I just delete images when I’m scrolling.
I see your point but I don’t struggle enough to have a seperate shutter app that auto deletes images.
Also, when deleting a photo, it’s stored for another 30days. You can easily come back a couple of days later in case you still need the photo.

which camera app do you use?
Main camera is whatever default is for Graphene. Also use “Open Camera” and “Fair Scan” from fdroid.

This is an excellent idea.
