How to search pre-existing tags

I tag my photos using digikam and I save the tags to the files through digikam. I can see the tags using Windows explorer but I cannot seem to search the tags using Immich search bar. I read that existing tags are pulled when the files are uploaded so I assume there is a way to search them. What is the proper way to search existing tags? When I start typing it shows a note about smart search and searching with the m: prefix but that doesn't seem to work either. I have a feeling this issue could be related to the fact that all my photos are within an external, read only library. Any suggestions? By the way, what an amazing group of contributors. I really appreciate how helpful and response everyone is. It is very helpful to search prior questions and learn great information about how the program works.

Default Library (CLI import) vs New External library

Before external libraries were recently added, I have only ever used the external gallery - CLI feature. Upon reading about the new external libraries feature and the ease of rescanning the library, I created my first external library which points to the same path I used in my external gallery - CLI import. Under the libraries section I now see a Default Library with 22,882 assets at 197 GiB and my external library with 23532 assets at 208 GiB. Are these duplicates? Is there a way to clear the default library? I don't intend to upload photos, just use the RO external path. Is the issue that my uploads directory is within the external library directory? The external path under my user settings is: /Photos Below is the relevant section of my docker compose yaml: services: immich-server: container_name: immich_server image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release} command: [ "start.sh", "immich" ] volumes: - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload - "D:/Photos:/Photos:ro"
env_file: - .env depends_on: - redis - database - typesense restart: always immich-microservices: container_name: immich_microservices image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release} command: [ "start.sh", "microservices" ] volumes: - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload - "D:/Photos:/Photos:ro" env_file: - .env depends_on: - redis - database - typesense restart: always Below is the relevant section of the .env file: ################################################################################### Upload File Location This is the location where uploaded files are stored. ################################################################################### UPLOAD_LOCATION=D:\Photos\Immich

Read-Only Gallery CLI Sync Fails: Status Code 400 File Does not exist within user's external path

I found several similar posts but neither assisted me in resolving my issue as my setup is on docker desktop (Windows 11) not TrueNAS or a Linux distro. Any help the community can offer would be much appreciate. Thanks! On my Windows 11 machine I have the following directory which I mounted in the docker desktop immich container: D:\Photos This is the dockercompose.yml line for the mount paths under immich-server and immich-microservices: volumes: - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload - "D:/Photos:/Photos:ro" Within the immich web page I added the following directory as the external path: D:/Photos Within docker desktop I went to the immich-server container, opened the terminal, and entered the following command: immich upload --key <key obtained from the immich user settings page> --server http://<server IP>:2283/api /Photos --recursive --import Upon entering the command I see the following: Checking connectivity with Immich instance... Server status: OK Checking credentials... Login status: OK Successful authentication for user <user email> Indexing local assets... Indexing complete, found 23218 local assets Comparing local assets with those on the Immich instance... A total of 23218 assets will be uploaded to the server
