my mounted windows drive folder. Thanks for creating this wonderful container and looking forward for your feedback on issue.

Hi,

if I understand correctly you have one image
C:\Photos\IMG_8087.jpg
that is available the Immich container under the path
/externalssd/photos/IMG_8087.jpg
And that is most likely the one photo the script found (according to the log).

You set your ROOT_PATH to /externalssd/photos.
This is most likely the culprit. Your image is sitting directly in the ROOT_PATH. The script works the way that it cuts off the ROOT_PATH from any asset's fully qualified path. Then it removes the asset's file name from the path. What's left is used for album name generation.
The problem is that with assets sitting directly in the ROOT_PATH, there's nothing left after removing the ROOT_PATH and the file name itself from the fully qualified path. So the script cannot create an album for it.
If you move your image to for example C:\Photos\2024\My Album\IMG_8087.jpg, then the script should create an album called 2024-My Album based on your docker-compose settings.

Let me know if that helps.

Best Regards
Salvoxia
