Missing photos & Duplicated photos.

I'm trying to transfer photos from Synology Photos over to Immich, and nothing seems to want to work right. The photos only go as far back as mid-2022, despite there being numerous 2023 photos, and the ones that do exist are completely duplicated (there isn't a single photo that isn't duplicated). This is the command that I have been running that throws up issues:
sudo docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd):/import" ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-cli:latest upload --key (API KEY) --server http://192.168.1.5:2283/api --recursive
Any clue whats going on, or if theres a better way to copy files from synology photos?

Make sure to check the admin panel to see if all the jobs have finished processing - assets won't show up in the UI until their thumbnail is generated For the duplicates, it could be that synology photos generates hidden folders with thumbnails in them, those would look like duplicates

Yeah, its the thumnails. Is there a way to exclude hidden folders?

Also, the upload process is complete.

Not at the moment, deleting those folders would be the only way Uploading just moves the files to the server, then in the background the server will generate thumbs etc

I just checked the files - the only photos from 2023 that were uploaded were the (incorrectly dated) Disney Photos that I manually uploaded to Synology Photos this year.
