Migration Confusion & Support
Hey team:
I’d set up ente for my partner on android, and locally deleted a bunch of large files.
We then migrated his data to iOS, but the Move to iOS app messed up the photo folders (and Ente handles folders in a seemingly intuitive way - perhaps because of how iOS organises folders - I HATE the be gallery app on iOS but oh well). So I don’t know what folders to select. I also don’t know if ente will detect that a particular photo has already been backed up?
So how does that detection work? Is there a photo associated uuid? Do you look for identical metadata?
I know you have duplicate deletion support - but what if the metadata is not identical? Will you delete even then, and which one will you pick?
