Best approach for removing low-quality images (<1MB) from library?
Hi Team,
Thank you for all your hard work! I've just uploaded over 36K images and I notice I've brought in a lot of poor quality images that are less than 1MB.
My question is, what would be the best approach to finding these files and deleting them? My current thoughts are:
1. In terminal, I could run a filter or find command in my uploads folder, something like
find ./uploads -type f \( -iname "*.jpg" -o -iname "*.jpeg" -o -iname "*.png" \) -size -1M to inspect and delete. However, after this step, I'm unsure which post-administrative steps I would need to take, for example, which services/jobs to run to address all the broken links, etc.
2. I saw a feature request for something called smart albums here https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/2903 where I would create a filter based on file size. I don't believe I've seen this implemented yet, so I'm open to your thoughts.
Thanks again.6 replies
