If I have an existing photo that has an incorrect
created_date exif data. It sounds like I can use xmp files to update the date, either by creating a new xmp file within the existing file system and running the DISCOVER job, or by updating the existing xmp file within the existing file system and running the SYNC job. This will then queue metadata refresh.- In order to update the file structure (since the
created_datewas updated), will I need to run theSTORAGE MIGRATIONjob or is that part of the queued metadata refresh?
Consider the following use cases:
(2a) I have an existing asset
foo.jpg with no existing xmp file in immich. If I upload a duplicate file and as part of upload and there is also a new xmp file (<newXmpFile>), how will the xmp files be resolved?- will
<newXmpFile>be uploaded to the existing asset? - will these assets not be treated as duplicate?
bar.jpg with and existing bar.jpg.xmp file in immich. If I upload a duplicate file and as part of upload and there is also a new xmp file (<newXmpFile>), how will bar.jpg.xmp and <newXmpFile> be resolved?- will
<newXmpFile>overwrite the existingbar.jpg.xmpfor the existing asset? - will these assets not be treated as duplicates?
