Uploading to album on PC misses items
Creating a new album through the browser on a PC and then selecting new photos to upload from a PC finishes, but is missing items.
It appears to be approximately 10 photos/videos missing per 200 uploaded.
Tested 4x 1) upload of 224 images was missing 11 2) upload of 514 items was missing 18 3) upload of 1324 items was missing 51 4 upload of 1133 items was missing 54 re-selecting the same pictures again and again does seem to populate more to the album if previously uploaded -- or upload more pictures each time, but very unreliably.

Are you uploading through the web?
Yes
OK, it might be limitation of the web upload of if you choose a lot of assets it might kill the browser
for more than 100 assets I would recommend to use the CLI
The CLI behaved similarly.
redoing the same command asks for more files to be uploaded
If you upload those 140 files again, and then asking the prompt one more time, does it show the same number?
yes
If it is then those files are existing on the server already
So the deduplication works
ahh okay, so it's an issue with the indexing detection for what's pre-existing -- but then dedupe works
We don’t have client aide hashing yet so the assets will need to be uploaded to the server to check for the hash
Then if it matches then it just returns a code that says duplicated
And right now only the mobile app would act on those duolicated assets to not consider them for future upload
All other clients like CLI and the Web is stateless so we don’t store those info
makes perfect sense. Thank you for explaining it.
No problem
