Storage template issue

[mrbrahman]

The bug

Different people have different preferences for storing their photos in folders. Mine is:

YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD <Optional Album Name>

This helps me identify "albums" when casually browsing through the pics say on OS file explorer. This also allows for multiple albums on the same day. For me a pic belongs to only one album. If multiple things are needed I use tags (keywords).

It's great that Immich storage template is designed to address the different storage templates! However, it does not seem to be working in this case.

My template:

{{y}}/{{y}}-{{MM}}-{{dd}} {{{album}}}/{{filename}}

This is resulting in a "." at the end of the folder name, for the folders that don't have album names (I don't think album names can ever be made mandatory for all folders).

Immich uses . As the character when an asset is not in an album. This is designed so that you can sort non album photos into the current directory. This would be a feature request to have this changed / editable.

Thanks for quickly looking into this!
