[FEATURE REQUEST] Add option for automatically deleting images after successful upload #187

Open FReichelt opened 3 months ago

FReichelt commented 3 months ago

Hello Immich-Go Team,

I'm proposing a feature to automatically delete images from the device after they've been successfully uploaded to the server. This would reduce useless rechecking of files when rerunning.

Thank you guys in advance :)

Is there any reason why the delete option has been disabled with commit bd74a51?

Yes... immich-go does some bet on photos duplicates and best resolution. None of this is 100% reliable and I prefer to leave the user to do the cleaning after having checked the import result.

So, after the import process, some photos haven't been uploaded because of program decision. Should we delete those one too?

For me deleting every successfully uploaded would do enough, I believe some way of checking how the program decided would be a great solution too. For example, simply creating a text file or json which lists how each file was handled.

Yes, that's true, but for the average immich-go user it is still very difficult to process the data automatically.
