It’s been a year since I first posted about this when I started with Immich. This is still stopping me rolling this out. I can only assume either iPhones are not a priority, or this issue is not widespread but with my old method of adding photos since heic was introduced as default in iPhone, and I converted to jpeg on pc when copying them off, but left on iPhone as heic and now duped. By Immich. Heic are the default, and better on an iPhone so this should not be a feature but a default behaviour if you have an iPhone. |

I have searched the existing feature requests to make sure this is not a duplicate request.
The feature
For now, duplicate check keep lastest modify time (I guess) or largest file size by default.
as I know HEIC is More efficient than jpeg, HEIC image file size is about 50% less than JPEG , and some similar file were convert from HEIC to JEPG by icloud automatic,to get more device compatibility.
So, can we add a file type priority?
In most case HEIC is the best choice: Apple Original and smaller file sizes.
For thousands of photos, change default setting by click one by one it's too inefficient, it may take hours or days to deal with those photos.
