as an addition to this, i see this working in this manner:

1. A comment, like or tag is added to a photo, via the WebUI or App
2. The details are embedded in the photo's meta-data
   2.1 The details written should be easily identifiable that they were written by immich (ie, tag is immich/<tag details>, comment is immich-<comment string>)
   2.2 when displaying these details the immich- prefix is hidden.
3. The details are recorded/sync'd into the DB (for speed of searching)

These are then utilised in the following way:

Comments

• Are visible under the
  • thumbnail
  • image
  • image information panel
• Comments are searchable

Liked

• shown in the image thumbnails
• shown in the title bar of the image
• can be filtered for all likes (a logical album)
• can be used as a search criteria (ie liked AND tree)

Tags

• shown in title bar of image
• shown in info bar of image
• can be filtered for an individual/set of tags (ie, logical albums)
• can be used as a search criteria

To be honest, this is one of the massive things that myself and my friends are chasing to round out our requirements for a photo viewer/backup/manager, and it will make it infinitely more useful as a catch all photo manager for us.

note, as far as the ML type automated tagging, it would be good if these are also embedded in the image, but also under a prefix.

The reason for the prefix is to track where the data comes from, and to be able to cleanse it out automatically if desired.
