[Feature] Google Photos-like auto-stacking photos on the fly with ML

[MrModest]

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

• Yes

The feature

Those who still use Google Photos in parallel should have been noticed that G.Photos app automatically stack "neighbour" photos (made within small time interval and looks like a set of multiple shots) and choose the "Top pick" one as a thumbnail.

Yes, Immich has the dedupllication feature, but you don't always want to go through a ton of photos and remove/stack duplicates manually.

Stacking is a relatively safe feature since you don't delete photos, just stack them together and it can be unstack manually later.

It would safe a lot of space on the timeline for people like me who I very bad in shooting photos and every time just making a 10 photos in a minute 😅

I found a similar topic: #2479
But it's about strict rules. My request is about similarities in photos based on the photos themselves, not their metadata.

Oh, I see it's planned already:
