Does Immich pulltag info from sidecars?
Hi. First, praise: Immich looks gorgeous, seems very fast, and has a full feature set - and thank you for making FOSS that I can host myself! Now, question: Does Immich read tag information from XMP sidecars? The documentation makes it sound like it does, but I imported ~50 images and videos, about half of which have sidecars, and the tags in those sidecars either didn't get picked up by Immich - or I don't know where to find it (I'm looking at an asset's "Info", but I'd also guess that if Immich picked up tags, there would be a "Tags" item in the menu or tags would be searchable). I ran the "Extract Metadata" (All and Missing) and "Sidecar Metadata" (Sync and Discover) jobs, but the tags were still not picked up. The tags are in multiple formats, though not exif.
