Request for a feature.
Hello, could you please kindly tell me if it is possible to back up pictures with the original path and filename? I have thousands of pictures which are already classified on my mobile phone, but after uploading to the server, they were all jumbled up, and it would be a tremendous amount of work to classify them again. Thank you very much.

How did you classified on your phone, and can you give an example of all jumbled up?
On my mobile phone, I would classify the pictures according to different types. For example, the pictures of BJD Dolls would be placed in the Doll folder. However, after uploading them, they were all classified by date, which means different types of pictures would be categorized into the same folder as their dates are close.
yeah we don't have backup as album from the mobile all yet
We're planning to add that in the future. For now, what you can try is whether you can copy the files manually to a computer in a way that preserves the file structure you want. After that, you can upload with the CLI using the --album flag. That should create albums for every subfolder that you're uploading. https://immich.app/docs/features/bulk-upload

You can use the CLI to upload an existing gallery to the Immich server
Thank you very much. I will try it out.
