Hi, not sure if you are already aware, but until Immich implements such a feature, exiftool has proven helpful to me

It would also be really useful if you could manually specify the date-matching regex or multiple regexes, which the server could try sequentially for each asset missing a date. (Or manually triggered) |

The feature
Issue
I have a lot of photos coming from whatsapp, and they are not storing exif data.
Because of that miss, immich fallback on the file creation date.
Feature request
It would be nice to fallback first on the file name if it respect a pattern (that is done by a lot of apps, like facebook, whatsapp, android camera, ...). Also, having multiple patterns would be awesome, even more if it's customizable (env vars at least).
Here is for whatsapp a regex as an example:
(VID|IMG)-(?<year>\d{4})(?<month>\d{2})(?<day>\d{2})-WA\d+
. That will match and retrieve theyear
,month
andday
. If not matching, then fallback as usual using the file creation date.I did not find an explicit feature request of this. Feel free to close/link to other discussions
