Changing Phones and Keeping Local Photos
Hi,
Immich has been working amazingly for me and I will be keeping it when I get a new phone next week.
My current setup is I have immich backing up the default DCIM folder from my phone.
I also use syncthing to backup these photos to my laptop and NAS so they live outside immich too.
When I get my new phone I was planning on keeping this setup, and copying all my existing photos to the default DCIM folder on the new phone so I have all my photos locally.
I guess my question is has anyone tried this and how would immich behave? Will it attempt to re-upload all the photos and I'll end up with duplicates?
Could I possibly copy the app state over so it knows what it has indexed already?
I could always have syncthing as send only mode to backup new photos from my new phone but then I'll lose the ability to look up old photos when offline.
Worst case can always nuke and repave and reindex everything!
Thanks as usual for all the amazing hard work that goes into the project!

Some Assets Ignored on Android
Hi, on the android app under backup albums I have selected DCIM which it says has 1391 photos. This is the only album selected everything else is excluded. However, it says total unique assets is 1270 but is refusing to find those 121 photos.
I have checked the immich data folder and the thumbnails and they have definitely not been uploaded and thumbnails not generated. There are 1270 files in the main data folder and 2540 in the thumbs (2 per asset).
Is this an issue that you are aware of/has been reported before?
Do you think if I run the bulk upload from the server (which also has the folder with all 1391 files) it will duplicate all the files or should it hopefully just find the missing assets to upload.
I can't see any errors in the logs to indicate anything.
Versions:
Android app version: 1.40.0 build.63 (installed from f-droid)
Server version: 1.40.0 (running in docker)
Compose file and .env (see attached)
Many thanks in advance and let me know if there's any other information I can provide.
