The team behind Immich, a popular open-source, self-hosted photo and video management platform, has released version 2.4. One of the most visible changes affects shared albums on the web, where users can now enable an option to display the asset owner’s name directly on thumbnails.
A notable new feature in the web interface is the command palette. Accessible via Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux, or Cmd+K on macOS, the palette lets you quickly navigate between administration pages by typing their names. In its first iteration, it also supports a growing set of context-aware actions and keyboard shortcuts.
Search has also been refined. Users can now change the search type directly from the search bar by clicking on the pill indicator, eliminating the need to open the full filter panel. This adjustment reduces friction when switching between different search modes and makes browsing large libraries more efficient.
