  Hi LazyToad,

  it depends. Reitti on its own does not import any pictures. It only shows fetches them from Immich. For that to work it needs the geolocation where the image was taken in the exif data. You need to check if your expected image has this data in Immich. If it is available it shoud be displayed on the map if you select the day the picture was taken.

  Does it show the location in Immich? You can verify this if you open the image in Immich and let it display the Info.

  If it is showing, then it still could be that it is a bug in Reitti. Feel free to open an issue then :)

  Thank you for testing Reitti. 🙏

  It depends on two key requirements for Reitti:

  1. First, it finds all photos from Immich taken on the day you selected.
  2. Then, it filters these photos based on the selected map bounds, using the embedded EXIF geolocation data (where the photo was shot).

  If the EXIF data does not contain geolocation information, we currently cannot display those photos because their placement on the map cannot be determined.

  Could you please verify in Immich if the expected photo has its location in the metadata? If it is available there, then the issue might lie in how Reitti is parsing that specific data.

    Thanks for the explanation! Seems to work correctly after all, pictures do show up when I change the date on timeline instead of just staring at current date, 👍 Had just not understood how to use Reitti properly.
