No it doesnt. It only support ready photos from folders, then the original structure is lost inside Immich, you cannot even see the folders only the big “timeline”. All albums (=folders) disappear in immich, It’s useless for my use case.

Immich does support folders?
immich.app/docs/administration/storage-template/
With this you can store your photos in whatever structure you want.

I see this is something different from external libraries (to which applies my other comment). It doesn’t seems to be working for existing external libraries but only for new uploaded files? I will need to check this out more in deep. thanks.

There’s a couple of caveats with it, but I think neither are worse than your proposed flow.

It’s actually what i was looking for… I need to understand if it’s solid enough for long term usage and how to mix that with my existing photo collection, but it really seems that this feature will cut out the need to manually download & move the photos from Immich to PiGallery2…
