Reduplicate Deleting Wrong Files
I have over 5k duplicates after migrating an old instance.
I'm trying to use the "Reduplicate All" which states it will delete the smaller files and only keep the largest file, but when I run the job, it's moving the larger files to the trash and keeping the smaller files in the library.
Is there a trick I'm missing, or is it a bug?

when I run the jobWhich job? Is it from the Jobs page? In web UI it is supposed to "keep the largest file". Decision is made based on the exif file size (as reported by exiftool) https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/303307e1ac9949e1a4c56bb1cf27e4969d46135b/web/src/lib/utils/duplicate-utils.ts#L5-L30 If you have 2 images which are wrongly deduplicated (smaller kept, larger moved to trash), could you either - zip them and post here - alternatively, if they are private, run
exiftool -G1 image1.jpg image2.jpg against them and post its output (feel free to mask any sensitive info in the output)
