The feature

Currently, Immich Kiosk provides an excellent way to display images in a slideshow format. It would be highly beneficial to introduce a "Like / Archive" feature within the slideshow mode, allowing users to mark images they want to keep or archive directly from the display interface.

Proposed Features:

Like Button: Users can "like" an image during slideshow playback, storing it in a "Favorites" or "Liked" album.

Archive Button: Users can mark an image for archival, moving it to a separate "Archived" collection or hiding it from standard views.

Simple Input Method: Implement controls via remote (for TV use), keyboard shortcuts, or a touchscreen interface.

Feedback Mechanism: Provide visual/auditory confirmation when an image is liked or archived.

User Authentication (Optional): Allow actions to be associated with a specific Immich user account.

Use Case:

A user is running a slideshow and sees an image they like. Instead of manually searching for it later, they can simply press a button to "like" or "archive" it instantly.

This is particularly useful when reviewing large collections, making curation more efficient.

Would love to hear thoughts from the development team on feasibility and potential implementation strategies!

An interesting idea @dfuchs.

In my mind a "like" button would add the asset to an album and "hide" (I think the word "archive" is misleading) would tag the asset with "kiosk-skip" which currently excludes the asset from displaying.

The UI could be tricky as UI space in Kiosk is becoming more complex.

Thank you, @damongolding!

I was considering the "Favorite" and "Archive" features in Immich as a quick way to sort images. In my setup, I have two defined screens: one displaying only "Favorites" and another showing "All Images." On the "All Images" screen, I can select the best pictures and mark them as "Favorites," which are then displayed in my public kiosk.

This workflow works well for me because Immich allows me to further organize my favorites into albums if needed.

I am happy with each other workflow, too!

For the UI i think the navigation section could be a good place.

The issue with this route is that it's possible to have two assets on the screen due to the splitview layout. This is why the "view in Immich" button sits in the overlay.

I added the like and hide buttons to the "more info" overlay.

The docs for those buttons can be found https://docs.immichkiosk.app/configuration/more-info/#like-button-action and https://docs.immichkiosk.app/configuration/more-info/#hide-button-action
