(except I manually sort through my photos on a semi-weekly basis before I upload it to Immich).
I think that would be a better approach if I weren’t very lazy, I think even after the initial run I could do that since I don’t take lots of pictures but I was thinking about a fire and forget sort of thing.
If you want, I can cook up a little Python script you could stick into Cron to do all the tasks you described.
Thank you so much, I asked ChatGPT and it generated the bat file below (since I’m using Windows) do you think this would work?
