I am, that works really well actually and it even knows when the same file was moved.

But to add new files to that external library, which is in fact the only main library. We need to dig in immich file structure which at the very least enforces different directories and also uses those to store some forms of metadata.

Now its not the biggest deal, just an annoyance. the fix i am currently thinking is to move the immich directory to somewhere hidden and us systemlinks to get all uploads centralized under a single directory for further processing.
