Is this issue still relevant after our conversation on Discord? The image is sorted by the creation date in the EXIF info if it is found, otherwise the creation date will be the time it gets added to the database

Yes, it is still relevant. The issue is only present for the web viewer as shown in the pictures (marked as red). The mobile app (Android) functions just fine.

And another question: When no creation date is present in the EXIF dataset, does Immich create the EXIF variable in the image metadata? This could be useful for those who would like to later extract the images and use them and the EXIF creation date elsewhere.

At the moment, there is not. There is a feature put in for editing exif metadata though.

I think I saw the problem. The date is the same but the year is different. I think I didn't consider the year when grouping the photos

Hey @SirBogner, I tried to recreate the scenario with the same date, and month but with different years, and on my system, it recognizes the difference to group them differently.

Can you help me find a set of photos that are correctly and incorrectly grouped together and that are not too sensitive and send it to me to test? You can send it on Discord DM.

Thank you for your support

Edit: For your convenience, you can download those files directly from the web, it will be the raw files that get downloaded and contain the original information I need.
