Duplicates and deduplication?
Hello Immich experts! 👋
I have been using Immich for almost a year, have it setup on an OMV and using it to view and backup photos and movies from my Iphone and my wife's Iphone.
One thing I've noticed when viewing photos is that we have soo many duplicates, essentially I cannot view any photos from a few years without scrolling through duplicates, it's like everywhere! 😩
When I go to utilities, I often see duplicates and then I click deduplicate all and they disappear. I often go to my wif's account and check if she has duplicates to remove which she sometimes do, and then I remove them.
Then time passes and I yet again notice duplicates and I feel am I crazy!?! 🤯
What is happening with duplicates? Is there some edge case that utilities cannot get rid of e.g. cannot see duplicates between my photos and my wife's? Or is something recreating duplicates e.g. our apps freak out and upload photos again?
Any suggestion on workarounds or behaviour changes that can resolve this?
