Android App - Duplicate local/server copies after gphotos upload
Hey all - I'm not sure if this is a bug or something I can do.
I've setup Immich and been testing it myself and it has been great. I just went through the process of getting my SO's pictures downloaded from GPhotos, uploaded using the mattwilson tool and it all went smooth. On the server, every image and album is there. Great!
The problem arose when I went to then setup the Android App on my SO's phone. I selected the proper folder and tried to do a manual backup. It actually might have worked, but I'm not sure if the amount of "unique" items is supposed to keep dropping as it goes through the list. it only uploaded something like 50 images (from the last week since I did the export). All of this seems fine (if "unique" means things that don't need to be uploaded), except: every non-unique image (that's on the phone and in immich) is showing twice:
- Once with the indicator that it's local and not backed up
- Once with the indicator it's on the server, but no check (so not local)
It seems to be it's recognizing the duplicate images, but it's not merging them into one backed up image in the app.
I'm not sure if there's anything I can do here or if this is a bug. I thought one solution might have to be to delete all of the local copies and download all of them we want back on the phone. I tried that with a couple individual images, but downloading it didn't seem to change the icon to the cloud+checkmark so I didn't want to do it for everything.
Is this a bug? Known deficiency? Anything I can do to fix it?
Edit: to note - I've tried logging out/back in, clearing cache, completely uninstalling the app
