The script utilizies [Immich's REST API](https://immich.app/docs/api/) to query all images indexed by Immich, extract the folder for all images that are in the top level of a provided `root_path`, then creates albums with the names of these folders (if not yet exists) and adds the images to the correct albums.
It is important to understand the concept of `root_path`. Suppose you provide an external library to Immich under the path `/external_libs/photos`.
The following arguments influence what albums are created:
`root_path`, `--album-levels` and `--album-separator`
- `root_path` is the base path where images are looked for. Only images within that base path will be considered for album creation.
- `--album-levels` controls how many levels of nested folders are considered when creating albums. The default is `1`. For examples see below.
- `--album-separator` sets the separator used for concatenating nested folder names to create an album name. It is a blank by default.
__Exmaples:__
Suppose you provide an external library to Immich under the path `/external_libs/photos`.
The folder structure of `photos` might look like this:
```
/external_libs/photos/2020
/external_libs/photos/2020/02 Feb
/external_libs/photos/2020/02 Feb/Vacation
/external_libs/photos/Birthdays/John
/external_libs/photos/Birthdays/Jane
/external_libs/photos/Skiing 2023
/external_libs/photos/Vacation 2020 02
```
If you set `root_path` to `/external_libs/photos`, the script will create three albums:
- Birthdays
- Skiing 2023
- Vacation 2020 02
All photos from John's and Jane's birthdays will be added to the `Birthdays` album.
Albums created for `root_path = /external_libs/photos` (`--album-levels` is implicitly set to `1`):
- `2020` (containing all images from `2020` and all sub-folders)
- `Birthdays` (containing all images from Birthdays itself as well as `John` and `Jane`)
- `Skiing 2023`
If you set `root_path` to `/external_libs/photos/Birthdays`, only two albums will be created:
- John
- Jane
Albums created for `root_path = /external_libs/photos/Birthdays`:
- `Birthdays` (containing all images from Birthdays itself as well as `John` and `Jane`)
Since Immich does not support nested albums ([yet?](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/2073)), neither does this script.
Albums created for `root_path = /external_libs/photos` and `--album-levels = 2`:
- `2020` (containing all images from `2020` itself, if any)
- `2020 02 Feb` (containing all images from `02 Feb` itself and `02 Feb/Vacation`)
- `Birthdays John`
- `Birthdays Jane`
- `Skiing 2023`
Albums created for `root_path = /external_libs/photos`, `--album-levels = 3` and `--album-separator " - "` :
- `2020` (containing all images from `2020` itself, if any)
- `2020 - 02 Feb` (containing all images from `02 Feb` itself, if any)
- `2020 - 02 Feb - Vacation` (containing all imags from `Vacation`)
- `Birthdays - John`
- `Birthdays - Jane`
- `Skiing 2023`
Since Immich does not support real nested albums ([yet?](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/2073)), neither does this script.
