Feature Request: Utility Geo-Guesser

Description

I would like to request a new feature called Utility Geo-Guesser for Immich. This feature will enhance the user experience by allowing users to engage with their photo gallery in a fun and interactive way. This will also slowly populate their map interface.

Reason for the Request

Currently, setting the location for pictures requires many steps. Users need to check whether the image contains a location, and if not, they must manually set the location through several steps. The Utility Geo-Guesser feature will streamline this process, making it quicker and more user-friendly.

Feature Details

1. Random Picture Presentation: Users will be presented with one random picture from their gallery.
2. Set Location: They will have the option to set the location for the presented picture by choosing on the map (or with input).
3. Unknown Location Option: Users can choose to say "I don't know where this is" if they are unsure of the location.

Benefits

• Enhanced User Engagement: This feature will encourage users to interact more with their photo gallery, making the experience more enjoyable.
• Improved Metadata: By allowing users to set locations for their pictures, the metadata for their photo collection will be more accurate and comprehensive. This will help populate the map interface in Immich.

Implementation Suggestions

• The feature can be integrated into the existing photo viewing interface.
• A simple prompt can be used to ask users to set the location or indicate if they don't know the location.

Thank you for considering this feature request. I believe the Utility Geo-Guesser will greatly enhance the user experience and add valuable functionality to Immich.
