Re-importing images that I've trashed
Usage💻Web
SolvedI'm dragging images from an SD card into Immich v2.3.1 (yep, will try an update). In the process I deleted them and re-uploaded, but the images are handled as duplicates and not re-uploaded, and the images seem to be hidden in the trash.
The long story:
- I dragged 450-odd images into Immich
- I realised I had not rotated the portrait shots before upload, so I closed the window to cancel the uploads (could not see a "cancel upload" button, figured closing window would work fine to interrupt).
- I then opened a new Immich window and selected the photos by day in Immich, and used the menu "Delete" item to delete them
- Then I attempted to re-upload the images
- On second upload, the rotated images worked, but the images uploaded unchanged were handled as duplicates
- When this happens, there's a link on the duplicate upload to the existing image
- The links point to
- But if I visit
So the images are detected as duplicates, and in the trash in some undiscoverable way. Not sure how to handle retrieving them.
Is this a known issue? How can I make Immich not reject / skip uploads of images that are in the trash?
TBH what I may do is rotate all the images 360° and see if that produces enough change to accept them as new uploads ...
