Improvement suggestion to newly implemented timezone feature

[Sums123]

Hi all,

first of all thank you for this amazing tool. I love it and I love it that I don't have to work with exiftool to modify my Metadata for date changes.

Regarding the feature I have two suggestions regarding timezones (hope this is the right place for it) and there were no other posts regarding those topics (I searched, but couldn't find any)

1. Metadata scrubbing from filename

Exiftool has a really neat feature that scans the filename for a datetime and applies it to the image
(exiftool "-alldates<filename" %folder%).
This is really useful when importing images, such as from WhatsApp that had their metadata scrubbed.
E.g. this is a filename from WhatsApp that can be used to extract at least the date.

Of course it is a bit ambigous whether yyyymmdd or yyyyddmm is meant, but I think at least for WhatsApp the standard is the first.

Such a feature would be great for Immich too

2. Design improvements when changing timezone

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I feel like the timezone selection is not ideally designed. I attached a video to illustrate my points.

First of all I think it makes sense to search at the same time, while I have the drop down selected. The first view seconds of the video I try to type on my keyboard (unsuccessfully).

Right now I think the first field is a filter field for the dropdown further below. If I search the filter in such a way that I select a result, then it makes sense that this result is also applied in the timezone filed on the bottom.
I think right now the dropdown and the filter are sort of disconnected. Hope I made it clear what I mean.

3. Default timezone selection

Maybe it would be good to have a setting for "default timezone", where this timezone is initially selected, whenever changing any metadata. Right now for me it is "Africa/Algiers" because it seems to be alphabetically the first selection. With that feature, I wouldn't always have to select my usual timezone when changing the metadata.

Sorry not sure if this was appropriate for the "Feature Request" section
