How to create albums with immich folder album creator
Hey, I have one big folder.
What the program does is create an album with all photos inside it.
The folder, but, has folders, which have folders too -> nested folders.
How do I replicate this? Can anyone give me some dummy commands?
I'm running immich over docker compose

Alright, I assumed it was confusing
Currently it only creates Etc, Family and Anime. The last one includes all subfolders in one album, no representation of each subfolder
this is the yml file part for that container
immich-folder-album-creator is a third party tool though?
yh i know
also we don't have nested albums right now
-> I know this isn't supported by Immich itself. But if anyone knows the solution to it, would be nice.
-> yeah i know nested albums dont exist, I'm fine with just seperate albums for each folder
For immich there is no solution I'm afraid
You could keep it as is and mount it as external library
I fixed it
I already had external libraries
But the solution was to change the path yml, not only for album creator but also for immich server container
