- add ViewIntent Pigeon API and generated bindings - implement Android ViewIntentPlugin + iOS no-op host - route ExternalMediaViewer by ViewIntentAttachment - buffer pending view intents and flush on user ready/resume
# Conflicts: # mobile/android/app/src/main/kotlin/app/alextran/immich/MainActivity.kt # mobile/ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift # mobile/makefile
- hash local asset on-demand when checksum missing - search main timeline by localId or checksum before standalone viewer - persist computed hash into local_asset_entity
drop ExternalMediaViewer route

Description
Make Immich available as a gallery / image viewer app (open images from other apps)
Enable Android
ACTION_VIEWintegration so Immich can open images/videos from external apps, resolve to existing local assets when possible, and show them in the native Immich asset viewer experience.Discussions:
#1605
How Has This Been Tested?
On an Android device:
Resolution behavior:
Case A - asset is already indexed by Immich:
Open a media file that is already present in Immich (for example, from a backed-up folder).
Verify that the asset opens in the regular Immich viewer with the same controls as when opened from the timeline.
Case B - asset is not indexed by Immich:
Open a media file that is not present in Immich’s local index.
Verify that Immich shows a preview with an Upload to Immich action available.
After uploading, verify that the asset appears in the Immich timeline and opens with the full viewer controls.
Case С - asset cannot be resolved:
Open a media file for which a Media ID cannot be resolved.
Verify that Immich shows a basic preview with limited controls (view-only fallback).
Tested using:
ACTION_VIEWintents from external apps (file managers)Screenshots

src/services/uses repositories implementations for database calls, filesystem operations, etc.src/repositories/is pretty basic/simple and does not have any immich specific logic (that belongs insrc/services/)...
