Hi all I have a Photoprism library that I would like to transfer to
Immich. Do you know of a good method to do so?

The issue with a lot of these gallery apps is that when you input the
photo it assigns some form of database identifier to the file name and
all of your albums and related metadata are stored in the database not
in the files or file structure. So coles notes, you get to do it all
by hand photo by photo.

I've stuck with galleries that keep your files and file structure in
tact which helps some, but your albums are either that file structure
or need to be recreated.
