Archive Feature and third party apps
Hello,
I have just finished my first installation of Immich and after the first tests I am quite enthusiastic. Mainly I am looking forward to the Free up Space feature, which hopefully will be finished soon.
What I still do not quite understand is the archive function. This is unfortunately not documented. What exactly does it do?
I would have expected that when I archive an image, it is only available online.
I also wonder how I can access images stored in Immich, which are only available online, from third-party apps. For example, if I want to send a picture from WhatsApp, which exists on the Immich server, but not on the device. How can I achieve this? It would probably be best to enable Immich as a provider in third-party apps.
I am looking forward to the answer.
Best regards
Mocca

Archive excludes a photo from showing up on the main photos timeline. And immich cannot be picked as a photo or file sharing option yet, for use from 3rd party apps
is this allready on the roadmap or how should that be handled?
We track stuff like with with feature requests on github. I think there might be one for some of these topics already. You could double check and create a new one there isn't one.
