Description

This adds the EXIF lens model information panel to the asset detail view on mobile (follow-up to #15460).

The focal length alone doesn't always indicate which lens was used for a shot, so showing the lens model is very helpful to photographers.

This feature was frequently requested and is already implemented on the web, but until now it was missing from the mobile app (exists already on the web).

Fixes

Closes / resolves the following discussions:

(I recently noticed the feature was not implemented on mobile, even though @bo0tzz had closed the related issues already. With this PR the feature is now available on mobile as well. 🙂)

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Compiled and tested in the mobile Android version of the App (Emulator and native on a real device)

Looks good. But can we maybe edit the _SheetTile widget to make it possible to display three lines of text and display the information similar to how we do it on the web app? Camera -> Lens -> Other meta

But can we maybe edit the _SheetTile widget to make it possible to display three lines of text and display the information similar to how we do it on the web app?

Probably yes, but I much prefer the current mobile layout because it presents the two most important components — the Camera and the Lens — more concisely, each with its own icon.
Furthermore, it clarifies that ISO and shutter speed are properties of the camera, while aperture and focal length are properties of the lens.

Therefore I suggest to do this the other way around and aligning the web UI to the mobile app. If that sounds good, I can open a follow-up PR to implement the change to the web.

I have something like this in mind for the web:

I'll call in @alextran1502 for the final word, but I agree this is probably worth separating out to a new header; the current one is getting pretty cluttered.

Perfect 👍🏻

I have the change for the web already implemented and tested (--> #23670). Do you think I could add my changes to this PR or am I required to open a follow-up?

I would argue that shutter speed belong to the camera info, instead of the lens info

Yes, I totally agree, that's also what I said and how I have implemented it (see screenshot here).

Just the focal length and the aperture should belong to the lens and therefore be separated.

##### Highlights

Welcome to the release `v2.3.0` of Immich. This version comes with enhancements to the OCR feature and many bug fixes. This release also introduces foundational support for workflows and an application restore mechanism directly in the web UI. Let’s dive into some of the highlights below

- OCR Improvements
- Add/move action in mobile app
- Delete synchronization - Android
- Notable fixes: app freezes on resume on iOS
- Sneak peek: Maintenance mode and workflow

##### Add/move action in mobile app

The asset viewer in the mobile app now includes an “Add to” button that lets you quickly add an asset to an album, the locked folder, or the archive. Thanks [@&#8203;happychriss](https://github.com/happychriss)!

<p align="center">
<img width="300"  alt="Tapping the Add to button presents a menu to add/move an asset" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/21327e0b-ae5f-43b2-9f44-b75655895852" />
</p>

##### OCR Improvement

This release includes several enhancements to the OCR feature. There are now language-specific OCR model variants, extending support to Greek, Korean, Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Thai, and languages using the Latin script. All variants (including the existing models) support English as well. There is also an English-only model that performs better for libraries where multilingual support is not needed.

To switch to one of these models, you can navigate to the [OCR settings](https://my.immich.app/admin/system-settings?isOpen=machine-learning+ocr), choose the relevant model, save, then re-run OCR on all assets through the [Job Status](https://my.immich.app/admin/jobs-status) page.

</p>

The OCR information can now be viewed by toggling a button in the web viewer. You can hover the mouse over the text and copy it.

</p>

##### Delete synchronization on Android.

This release restores the previous mechanism for synchronizing the deletion action between the web and the mobile app. In addition to putting the asset in Immich’s trash bin, the mechanism also puts the deleted asset in the device’s trash system when the app opens. The mechanism has been reworked to align with the new data sync mechanism in the mobile app. You can enable the mechanism in the `App Settings > Advanced > Sync Remote Deletions`

<p align="center">
<img width="400" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/60d3f53d-a5f8-4235-944d-0e2e80040148" />
</p>

##### Notable fixes: app freezes on resume on iOS

Previously, iOS background tasks, such as local or remote data sync and background uploads, could abruptly terminate database operations when the iOS’s background time expires, leaving the database lock unreleased. It leads to an annoying symptom: the app appears to freeze when opening from the background, requiring a hard restart (swipe up to close, then reopen) to regain access to the database. The bug happened sporadically and was incredibly hard to track down. Thanks to the relentless pursuit of the bug, we believe it has been caught through our extensive testing. Please let us know if you are still getting “bugged” by this one in the new version.

##### Sneak peek: Maintenance mode and workflow

We can’t contain the excitement to share two exciting items in the work, which have some portions already merged into the server, and are ready to be built upon

##### Maintenance mode

This mode will allow the admin to put the server into a state where no one can access it without entirely shutting it down. This paves the way for restoring the server from a previous point in time directly from the web UI, no more fidgeting with the terminal.

<https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/26aa5f7f-5e5f-45b5-aa89-347325f10f41>

##### Workflow

The foundation of workflows and plugins also made its way to the server; the UI is being worked on. This feature will enable many more custom use cases that are not available in the core application. The community can write custom plugins and share them. We are very excited to see this happening faster than anticipated. Below is a screenshot of how the feature could look.
