Thanks for the report, will look into it

[AngelPone]

This issue is because of outdated documentation. Current CLI has a --album-name parameter. If it is set, add all assets to specified album. See immich upload --help for details.

[SitramSoft]

@AngelPone You are right. Thanks for pointing this out.

I guess this issue can be either closed or kept open to update the documentation.

Fixed in main

Tried different times with this command: immich upload --album-name "Liam" --recursive Pictures/ It creates the album but it doesn't put the pictures inside it.
