python immich_auto_album.py -a '-2,-3' -s ":" /home/users/Archive http://****:2283/api *****************

gives the following error:

immich_auto_album.py: error: argument -a/--album-levels: expected one argument

Am using the bare metal script (have just downloaded it) and installed. Not sure what the best way is.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

sorry you're having problems with the script. When using negative album level ranges you must follow a specific syntax for passing the argument to the script, otherwise the arguments parser gets a hiccup and throws the error you experienced. Try this: python immich_auto_album.py -a='-2,-3' -s ":" /home/users/Archive http://****:2283/api ***************** Emphasis is on the equals sign = separating the argument name from the value.

I updated the readme to draw attention to this special case.

Not at all - it's an amazing script. And thanks for being so proactive.
