When an external library asset changes on disk, its stored width/height can become stale and cause aspect ratio issues. This PR updates metadata extraction to refresh width/height for unedited assets, while preserving existing dimensions for edited assets.

Fixes #27085 and likely fixes #27212 as well

Cool, seems good to me. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the quick fix! Just a question: If an internally edited asset gets edited externally afterwards, will immich again pick up the changes (and likely discard all internal edits)?

This PR does not change that behavior, so it should work the same as it does today. My understanding is that Immich re-applies the edit steps to the externally updated asset, but I haven't tested it.

This PR does not change that behavior, so it should work the same as it does today. My understanding is that Immich re-applies the edit steps to the externally updated asset, but I haven't tested it.

That's true, this definitely fixes the most pressing issue. It just came to my mind, that the editing has a few edge cases if assets can be edited outside immich (which is a valid use case for external libraries). Reapplying the edits to the changed asset would probably lead to a similar problem again though I guess. Especially since edited assets will still not check the aspect ratio again.

Anyway, that's probably out of scope for this PR and a pretty rare case, so thanks again for the fix!

[Compare Source](immich-app/immich@v2.6.3...v2.7.0)

### v2.7.0

Welcome to Immich `v2.7.0`!

This release includes enhancements to the asset viewer, security improvements, changes to the duplicate APIs and viewer, and a bunch of bug fixes. Keep reading below for the complete highlights and a note on the upcoming `v3.0.0` release.

> \[!NOTE]\
> We're working on a managed backup service for Immich with end-to-end encrypted backups of your library to a remote datacentre where only you hold the keys.
>
> We've put together a quick survey (\~5 mins) to get a better idea of how you're backing things up today and what you'd actually want from something like this. Your answers help us figure out what to prioritise, so we'd really appreciate it if you took a few minutes to fill it out.

#### Known limitations

- The machine learning service on `amd64` currently requires the `>= x86-64-v2` microarchitecture. This will be patched in an upcoming patch release for backward compatibility with very old processors (before \~2010), but it will become a minimum requirement in 3.0. `arm64` is not affected by this change.

#### Highlights

- Remove from album (asset viewer)
- Move to locked folder (folder page)
- Editor shortcuts
- Create a new face on-the-fly in the face tag editor
- Resolve duplicates
- Helmet configuration
- Version check infrastructure
- Notable fix: live photo and video download in Safari
- Notable fix: escape HTML in the Panorama Photo Viewer

##### Remove from album

The web has a new action, "Remove from album," available in the asset viewer that makes it easier to remove an asset from an album. This action is available to both album and asset owners.

##### Move to locked folder in the Folder view

Similarly, the folder view now includes the "Move to locked folder" action.

##### Editor shortcuts

Users on the web can now edit with keyboard shortcuts. Press `e` to open the editor. Once in the editor, press `[` or `]` to rotate the asset +/- 90 degrees. Finally, save any changes and close the editor with `ENTER`.

##### Create a new face on-the-fly in the face tag editor

You can now create a new face/person on the fly from the face tagging editor interface

##### Deduplication improvements

The duplicate screen has gone through a bunch of iterations since it was first introduced all the way back in May, 2024. The latest release moves a bunch of logic from the client to the server, which now automatically suggests which asset to keep based on image size and EXIF data. Additionally, the new server implementation will automatically synchronize metadata, including albums, favorite status, rating, description, visibility, location, and tags. For more information about this process, see the new [documentation](https://docs.immich.app/features/duplicates-utility).

##### Helmet configuration

You can now opt in to using a [Content Security Policy (CSP)](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Guides/CSP) in Immich. The new environment variant `IMMICH_HELMET_FILE` accepts a boolean or a path to a [helmet](https://helmetjs.github.io/) configuration file.

**Recommend action:** The team recommends setting `IMMICH_HELMET_FILE=true` to enable the default policy. Then, please let us know if you run into any issues with it.

##### Background and details

Since Immich is deployed in so many different ways, it has been hard to figure out how to enable a CSP that would not conflict with or break existing installs that might use 3rd party map providers, custom CSS, embed Immich in an iframe, or other such features. In this release, we have added the ability to both opt in to a default policy and configure a custom one. To use the default policy, simply set the environment variable `IMMICH_HELMET_FILE=true`. To use a custom policy, set the environment variable to a path on disk (within the immich-server) that contains a valid helmet configuration (e.g. `IMMICH_HELMET_FILE=/opt/immich/helmet.json`). CSP can be used to control what scripts are allowed to run on the page, which domains to load images from, etc. Additionally, it can be used to configure headers for [Referrer-Policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/Referrer-Policy), [X-Powered-By](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/X-Powered-By), [X-Frame-Options](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/X-Frame-Options), and others.

##### New version check infrastructure

Prior to this release, instances that used the automatic version check feature would send HTTP requests to `github.com`. Now, we have set up a small service at `version.immich.cloud` to handle these types of requests. This avoids any privacy implications of connecting to `github.com` , as well as moves the request load to our own infrastructure.

##### Notable fix: live photo and video download in Safari

When downloading files in Safari with the same name, it will simply overwrite the file instead of automatically renaming it. In this release, the still and motion parts of a live photo are now named differently to prevent this from happening.

##### Notable fix: escape HTML in panorama photo viewer

In `v2.6.0`, we added the ability to show/view clip text in the panorama viewer, but introduced an XSS vulnerability, which has been fixed in this release. Interestingly, this was XSS using text in the image, which would then get read by OCR.

##### Notable fix: Immich User Agent for external requests

Similar to the mobile app, the server now sends a custom [User Agent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/User-Agent) header. The format for the User Agent is `immich-server/{version}`. For example, `immich-server/2.7.0`.

#### `v3.0.0`

Just a heads up that this is the likely to be the last release before  `v3.0.0`. Being a major release there will be a handful of breaking changes, *although it's worth noting that nothing is currently planned that requires  user intervention*. It is mainly changes that impact 3rd party developers. More information and details should be available in the coming weeks.
