Corrupt asset check

Hi,

I was doing some testing with the application. I wanted to re-backup all my images from my phone to the server again.

So what I did, I removed just the whole library of the images of the account from where my server stores the images.
There doesn't really seem to happen anything with that though. I remember vaguely something about a feature for watching the folder for changes. So that explains that.

But then, I wondered about the checking of corrupt assets. Because first with images, clicking the button inside the mobile app would instantly be done. So expect it to be okay. But now, with a empty library, the effect is the same.

So I was wondering how that function works. Does the check only happen on images that are newly added? Shouldn't it detect also when a image is corrupt or not even there even if the server says it's there.

Maybe I'm getting ahead in terms of functionally. But I'm curious

Thanks in advance 🙂
