The feature

I have some person's faces recognized and immich auto selects a featured photo. After some time a better one is processed but the first one stays.

The request:
if the featured photo is NOT manually set search for new best face photo.
if a better one is found, set as featured

Here is an example. The big photo (left) is much better than the selected one (right)

I know that I can just set it. But it would be a QoL feature.

How do you imagine determining whether a photo is "better"?

One variable that could count for it is the size of the image. If it is 30px probably not good.

And the rest maybe another AI feature

I would like this too. I find that during the import process of my existing photos, when the faces of people were originally selected, they may have been a background person, so the featured photo of them is very pixelated/blurry. Now that I have all of my photos imported there are many better selections that could be made, that the face of the person is primary in the photo, and would be clear as a featured photo.

While this can be done manually, when I have thousands of faces in my Immich setup, it would take a signifiantly long time to complete manually.
