Bulk import assets
Hi,
I need help importing my assets, external libraries have changed and I am not sure I fully understand.
Previously I used the cli to bulk import assets, easy! My original assets got organised in folders by year under /library, I backup this folder.
I have recently changed host and starting with a fresh install. I tried the CLI but 404 error, okay import has been discontinued and suggested to use the External library feature instead.
But my issue is, I don't want to use external libraries, unless I am missing something?
"Currently, there are two types of libraries: traditional upload libraries that can sync with a mobile device, and external libraries, that keeps up to date with files on disk. The delete button is disabled for external assets"
I would like immich to organise once again my assets. The main library syncs with my mobile and I also would like to delete assets as I sort through the timeline. How do I add all my assets into the traditional library?

In this case you do actually still want to use the CLI to import your images.
Fortunately, there has just been a new (more shiny and better ;)) CLI released

I will take a read through the link and see if I can get it working
Sounds good! Feel free to ask if you have any other questions!
