Batch stack iPhone versions
I have thousands of photos where one is the original and one is the edited (or 'portrait') version from iPhone, e.g.,
IMG_2257.HEIC
and IMG_E2257.HEIC
Immich is reporting these as duplicates.
But they should really be stacked.
I have thousands of these – any way to stack them all ?
I assume the button "Deduplicate All" means "TRASH all dupes"
Is there a way to "STACK all dupes" ?
Also – any way to make Immich prefer HEIC to JPG even when smaller?

But it seems to not have worked. They still appear separate.
