Use Case

Please consider the following workflow:

  1. Photos are made with a camera in raw and JPG (both high resolution).
  2. JPG files are uploaded to Immich for immediate sharing with the family.
  3. Later, raw files are processed and new JPG files are generated for the processing result (JPG files have lower resolution - optimized for web/mobile sharing).
  4. New JPG files are uploaded to Immich with intention to replace the previously uploaded ones.

Status Quo

When uploading processed JPG in step 4, they are skipped with message: "An asset with the same name:".." and date:".." but with bigger size:... exists on the server. No need to upload.".

The motivation to avoid quality downgrade by default is clear and reasonable.

Feature Request

Allows users to implement workflow as described above by supporting --force-update / --skip-quality-comparison or similar flag, which would cause photos to be re-uploaded even if server has a better quality of the asset.

Meanwhile, you can rename the high quality file to force immich-go to upload it. But you'll have 3 version of the same image
