I've just installed Immich, so far so good, i'm impressed.

However it appears it doesn't scan folders recursively and the my
photos are currently organised means some are three to folders deep.

How do i extract all the folder contents into the parent folder using
command line?

The photos are all currently backed up.

I've done this! There is a command within the immich program where you
specify a directory to import and it will suck it all into the system
as if you uploaded it via gui.

find the option.

its documented here, the "immich upload" command.  I just used my
actual immich server for the task rather than installing the cli on
another machine.

you can use the mv command in the command line to move the contents of
a folder into another folder. for example if your folder structure is
like this: parentfolder/folder1/folder2/photos you can use the
following command: `mv parentfolder/folder1/folder2/photos/*
parentfolder/`. this will move all the photos from the photos folder
into the parentfolder. make sure to replace parentfolder with the
actual parent folder name in your case.
