I’m having issues with Google takeout, it messes up the file names and thus the order of the photos.
Any tips?
The names should remain as they were uploaded, I’m pretty sure. Regardless, the metadata should contain the date taken, by which they can be ordered.
I’ve read about this and I’m not in a position to research it rn, but this is a “feature” of takeout. There are scripts which will fix this and I BELIEVE immich can handle this format natively.
I’ll check it out, thank you 🙏
This worked pretty well for me, although constructing the cli command took a little elbow grease. This video and an LLM proved to be very helpful.
Here’s the commands I ended up using:
Testing Upload Process
Before performing the actual upload, test the process with this command:
immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [put your apikey here w/o brackets} upload -dry-run -google-photos takout-*.zipActual Upload
Once testing is successful, perform the full upload:
immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [put your apikey here w/o brackets} upload -google-photos takout-*.zipRemove Duplicates
If you’ve previously uploaded photos before syncing your phone, remove duplicates with:
immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [apikey} duplicate -yes
