Feature request: ability to provide a list of files to upload (to use with inotify)

[msmialow]

Currently, it seems you have to point immich-go directly at a directory. This works since there is duplicate checking built in, but for larger libraries of photos from non-app running devices (ie, actual cameras, not phones) a full directory scan and upload takes a long time.

My plan to have a fully automated system that saved on execution time was to automatically generate a list of newly created files using inotify to monitor a directory and execute immich-go as a cron job pointing to that list. And I just discovered that I can't seem to supply a file per line list to the command. I've read through the documentation pretty carefully and even checked some of the source and previous issues/feature requests, and come up empty, so if this is already somehow possible, I'd be surprised, but happy.

And yes, I'm aware of the external library feature of immich, but I like the raw stacking options among other things here and would like to keep those features rather than just rsyncing to a remote dir and having to deal with stacking in other ways among other things.

This current setup is for my elderly parents who are more than savvy enough to upload their photos to the correct directory and use immch to share with friends/family, but I'd rather avoid them having to deal with stacking and similar issues.

Pairing immich-go with inotify would be my ideal solution for keeping everything automated, but for the lack of a list of files feature.

Thanks for the great work here, the google photos takeout transition went great!
