Is there a way to know when in the timeline this "nice to have" is slated to be worked on?

This project is amazing, it's incredibly responsive and the upload speeds are superb. I'm waiting to use it full time until this feature is implemented. I'm using Immich primarily to store my kids pictures, but they are scattered in several different albums on my phone and I don't want to backup all albums so it would be nice to be able to upload specific pictures.

Regardless, great job with the project.

@micogg We don't have a timeline set for the nice to have feature yet.

For your specific needs, you can create an album, let's say "Kid's photos". Then from your phone's gallery, you can select and move all of the photos/videos of your kids that you want to backup to that album/folder.

From Immich, you can select that album to be the only one that will be back up from the album selection screen, then Immich will only upload the photos and videos in that album. If you use Android and enable background backup, every time you move the photos/videos to that album, they will be uploaded in the background.

Waiting for this feature too.
