v2.4.0

v2.4.0

Highlights

Welcome to the release v2.4.0 of Immich. This release focuses on bug fixes, QoL improvements, and polished UI components and animation across mobile and the web. Let’s dive right in.

• Show the owner's name in the shared album
• Command palette
• Change search type directly in the search bar
• Better action button placement in the mobile asset viewer
• Notable fix: fix an issue where metadata extraction could fail on high concurrency

Show the owner's name in the shared album.

On the web, in shared albums, you can now toggle an option to display the asset’s owner name at the bottom right corner of the thumbnail.

Command palette

The web app now has an integrated command palette, which can be opened ctrl + k on Windows/Linux or cmd + k on macOS. This first iteration of this lets you quickly navigate between administration pages by typing the name of the page you want to go to. It also already supports some common actions when on the respective admin pages, many of which also support shortcuts. Have a look around and check them out!

Change search type directly in the search bar

You can now click on the pill from the search bar to select a different search type without opening the search filter panel.

Better placement of action buttons in the mobile asset viewer

Previously, to perform a specific action on the asset, you needed first to swipe up to open the detail panel, then swipe all the way to the right and tap the action. It limits the discoverability of some actions. To help resolve that issue, all the action buttons in the detail panel are now moved to the drop-down menu when tapping on the vertical dot icon (or kebab menu), along with some buttons that used to be on the top bar, clearing up space to display more helpful information when viewing the asset.

Full Changelog: v2.3.1...v2.4.0

---

This discussion was created from the release v2.4.0.

[AiroPi]

Hi, it seems that the prometheus.yml file is missing in the assets!

[alextran1502]

Good catch, thanks. Added

[warnerbryce]

Thank you for this release !
It seems that Web Photo Edit didn’t make it to 2.4.0.
Let’s hope it will be production ready on 2.5.0.

See you next year all !

[alextran1502]

Yes, it is very close to being done!

[calvin-erfmann]

Thank you so much for this release! Have a nice Christmas and new Years!

[Louisbertelsmann]

Are there any plans to revisit the implementation of the Locked Folder? Because there currently isn't any way to add albums or sort by tags or something, which would really benefit its uses for many users.

[Darkyputz]

Awesome news and congrats to the new release...
Might be a stupid question, but how do i update the android app? That is still on 2.3.0 build 3027

[amykyta3]

Find immich in the Play Store and you can force the update

[Darkyputz]

thx, will try...wasnt showing anything new , so i asked

[leleogere]

The play store always needs a couple of hours (or even more) to approve an update

[Deedikjupijn]

You could also use obtainium to get the android app (apk file) directly from the github (this application is open source and also way better for privacy):

Obtainium website: https://obtainium.imranr.dev/

Guide video if you need it:
https://youtu.be/0MF_v2OBncw?si=PF0aGW02NEAgSnoP

Using this link you can create your own obtainium config: https://my.immich.app/utilities

Using the google play store is also fine but will always be a bit slower (if I'm not mistaken a couple days most of the time)

[tgk228trx]

Поздравляю с обновлением:) Было бы отлично добавить на официальном сайте проекта ссылку на скачивание нового релиза в wget

[Carnia]

Thank you so much for this release!
Are Smart Albums and Workflows currently under development?

[scottrbaxter]

Loving the Command palette! It has so much potential. First thing i tried was to go into Trash... and realized that does not work! I then tried typing in several characters to see what options would pop up and tested a few.

Was wondering if you could add quick access to the user's /trash path, and maybe even a quick "empty trash" option?

Context: i do a lot of photo processing and upload albums to Immich to quickly view on multiple devices, share, etc.. Often, i will compare coloring and edits on another device, choose to "trash" one or several photos, then go into /trash, then i have to click "x" or wait for the notification popup to fade away because Empty trash just happens to sit under the popup. After all that, i can finally empty trash and proceed to re-upload new edits. Would love a quick access option in the Command Palette!

btw, thank you greatly for squashing that album order on mobile bug (21711)! ❤️

[JarekLB]

add the ability to mass delete albums. having to delete them one at a time in annoying
