Better workflow for share and notify

[Mannshoch]

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

• Yes

The feature

We have a shared Album where we upload Photos. The current Workflow:

• Record video / Take Picture
• go home because immich is only reachable on home W-LAN
• Wait for sync to Immich
• chose a shared Album
• Wait for processing the content on server
• notify other Family Members that something new and interesting is Uploaded

Is not working good enough for us.
I propose:

• Record video / Take Picture
• chose a shared Album
• notify others that something new and interesting is Uploaded
• go home
• Immich auto upload content
• Wait for processing the content on server
• Optional: auto download the content to other user
• user get notification.

that would streamline my actions to a short period of time. The most annoying part is that I could not see not uploaded files on the immich app.

Are you proposing to send a notification before assets have been uploaded? Because that seems like a recipe for confusion to me.

[Mannshoch]

No, I propose that user are able to set an album, a notification and may others even before the upload is done.

But I don't say that a notification should be sent immediately. The notification should be stored on Phone, get uploaded along the Media and be sent to user on the the right time - as described in my proposal.

I don't really understand what you mean? The user doesn't set a notification or store it on the phone, it's generated by the server after uploads etc happen.
