immich-go v0.23.0-RC6 🏗️ more user feedback 🏗️

In this release, significant efforts have been made to resolve the persistent "Bad Request" error.

This error typically occurs when uploading large takeout files. However, there is currently no clear and reproducible way to trigger it with a simple dataset.

The "Bad Request" error is believed to stem from asset upgrades. Previously, the code would delete the lower-quality asset and then upload a higher-quality version. This process has now been simplified by leveraging the API call replaceAsset.

What's Changed

• HTTP errors are now correctly reported in the API-TRACE files
• GPS coordinates are obfuscated in the logs, for a better privacy when sharing the logs
• use replaceAsset when upgrading assets
• Fix panic: time: missing Location in call to Time.In when using the archive command by @simulot in #596
• Implement CacheReader and enhance asset handling with tests by @simulot in #597
• A few improvements to the uploads by @simulot in #599

immich-go v0.23.0-RC2 🏗️ Polishing 🏗️

Hi everyone,

Thank you to all the users who have tested immich-go and shared your feedback. Your input is essential for finding and fixing issues and making the tool better.

Here’s what’s new in this version:

• Simplified Date Handling: The new --date-from-name flag allows immich-go to infer capture dates from file names or paths when metadata is missing. Immich-go now opens files directly to read metadata without relying on external tools. Supported file types include: .jpg, .mp4, .heic, .dng, .cr2, and .cr3.
• Removed Dependency on ExifTool: immich-go no longer requires ExifTool for metadata extraction, making the setup simpler and more lightweight.
• Bug Fix: --folder-as-album Improvements: When using --folder-as-album with the current folder (.), immich-go now correctly uses the actual folder name instead of . for album creation.
• Bug Fix: --date-from-name Enhancement: The --date-from-name flag now works seamlessly when the current folder (.) itself is a date, ensuring better handling of date inference in such cases.

known bug

• archive files with same name can be overwritten in the archive
• Stack error with MP~2 files

Please keep testing and let me know what you think. Your help is key to making immich-go reliable and easy to use.
Thank you for your support! 🚀
