This is still broke as of v1.135.3. I don't see in any release notes where this was resolved. Please reopen this issue.

This has not been fixed. We only add the image-asset to the album and as such the storage template won't move the .mov file to the same folder if the template uses an album

Just noticed that this seems to work properly for images with the .jpg extension. The associated .mov files are correctly moved into the album folder with the image as per the storage template. However, this does not work correctly for images with the .heic extension. The associated .mov files are not correctly moved to the album folder.

Y'all don't need to post updates after every release now :D We're aware that this is still an issue, otherwise it would be closed

I have just started using Immich, and I still see this problem exists. As I need to start importing all my photos, I need to ensure this question before doing it: When this problem is fixed, will all the .mov files migrated to the album folder automatically and the “month” directories will be deleted? Or do I need to trigger any kind of migration manually?

Thank you in advance!

Given we don't have a fix for it yet it's hard to tell, but I'd expect you'll need to re-run the template migration job.

Thank you for the response. Knowing it can be fixed, I will start the migration then :)
