Fixing files with missing metadata

Hello people.

I imported quite a lot of images but later I have noticed that some of them have missing exif date/time metadata and thus are placed wrongly on the timeline.

I was thinking about using a script to detect those files, move them to some folder and then import them by your immich go cli tool with the option to read the dates from the name of the file instead.

But I suppose it will cause the issues as iirc immich doesn't detect missing original file to remove it from the timeline, right?

The only alternative I see is to delete everything and import from a new but I made quite a progress with the face detection etc.

What would you advise?
