Library: asset count not correct because of hidden files?
Hi,
I added two external folders to my libraries to test them. There are around 780 photos inside those two folders. The library setting overview only provides me with a number of 3200 assets. Supposed that a single asset is a photo or video. The value of 3200 would be too much.
Another observation I did, is that the timeline also shows me the images in March 2023, while the photos were taken in 2013. The metadata also indicates it. If I scroll down to 2013, the images are also there.
More research and the images in 2023 seem to be SYNO.thumbs made by my Synology Nas in Synology Photos.
These assets are not seen in any way through network shares or directly in Nas.
It's probably some Linux related stuff. I think it's some kind of hidden file, like windows has.
But is there a way for the library functionality to not use hidden files?
