The bug

I am using the Immich CLI to do bulk backups of my photos to my immich instance. According to the documentation, I can use glob patterns to exclude filetypes and directories. However, it not follow the glob patterns after --ignore , but it respects the exclude options for absolute paths. I can see in the progress output that .mp4 and .dng files and images inside **/Screenshots/** are still being uploaded to Immich despite these exclusions in place.

Here is the bash script I made for automation: https://pwpu.imnot.uk/en/p/in1ugu5ujak/r

I'd like to ask for help as to what can be done to make immich cli exclude the directories and filetypes I listed

I found a way to fix the issue. Turns out that instead of just *.{file extension}, I should use **/*.{file extension} instead. I haven't found a way to fix the problem with the directories yet tho
