I've just installed Immich, so far so good, i'm impressed.

However it appears it doesn't scan folders recursively and the my photos are currently organised means some are three to folders deep.

How do i extract all the folder contents into the parent folder using command line?

The photos are all currently backed up.

you can use the mv command in the command line to move the contents of a folder into another folder. for example if your folder structure is like this: parentfolder/folder1/folder2/photos you can use the following command: mv parentfolder/folder1/folder2/photos/* parentfolder/. this will move all the photos from the photos folder into the parentfolder. make sure to replace parentfolder with the actual parent folder name in your case.
