Copying this from Reddit (I still get the daily emails). Since I no longer post there, I figured I would ask here, and include my prediction: Will be more popular, possibly in stable release. Still won’t be able to rotate photos natively.

    Just an idea: Maybe a simple photo editor would fit in nicely? Crop, rotate and adjust the colors/brightness/contrast.

    And … please let me rotate videos that are accidentally 90 degrees off.

      I’m just learning about the software but all the tasks you listed (crop, rotate and adjust), can be done easily with imagemagick simple one-liners.

      For example: Convert in.jpg -rotate out.jpg

      Or

      Using the auto-orient option or using jhead.

      Why is it so hard for this app to implement it?

        I know nothing about coding, but its probably not trivial in a project the size of immich to add “one simple one-liner”.

        Think of the Web UI, the mobile apps, the internal API, the filesystem handling, preview generation etc.

        I’m sure it can be done, but it probably takes a couple of days.
