Feature request: Use zip file name as album name

[rbuchberger]

Hi! Again, thanks a ton for this software.

My Kid's preschool lets us download photos from time to time, and I like to archive them directly into Immich. They're provided as a flat zip file (no subdirectories).

If I use the create-album-folder option, they end up in an album called 'no-folder-name'. Would it be possible to use the name of the zip file instead?

Have you tested with the option -album="ALBUM NAME" ?

That's what I ended up doing, but I wrote a little script to set the album name from the name of each zip file. It was just a thought; taking the zip file basename as the album name might be better behavior than falling back to no-folder-name.

upload_photos() {
  for z in *.zip; do
    immich-go upload -album="${z%.zip}" "$z"
  done
}
