The bug

If you delete duplicates from the immich web app via the duplicate finding utility. The android client shows the deleted items as not uploaded and starts uploading them again. Tried this multiple times. I don't know if this behaviour is exhibited by the ios client or not.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Ubuntu 22.04.04

Version of Immich Server

v1.112.1

Version of Immich Mobile App

1.112.1.build.154

Platform with the issue

  • Server
  • Web
  • Mobile

Your docker-compose.yml content

Stock, no changes whatsoever.

Your .env content

# You can find documentation for all the supported env variables at https://immich.app/docs/install/environment-variables

# The location where your uploaded files are stored
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/media/2TB/immich/library
# The location where your database files are stored
DB_DATA_LOCATION=/media/2TB/immich/postgres

# To set a timezone, uncomment the next line and change Etc/UTC to a TZ identifier from this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones#List
# TZ=Etc/UTC

# The Immich version to use. You can pin this to a specific version like "v1.71.0"
IMMICH_VERSION=release

# Connection secret for postgres. You should change it to a random password
# Please use only the characters `A-Za-z0-9`, without special characters or spaces
DB_PASSWORD=postgres

# The values below this line do not need to be changed
###################################################################################
DB_USERNAME=postgres
DB_DATABASE_NAME=immich

This is currently working as expected, there's a few open requests for changing this behaviour.

Hi @bo0tzz, I respectfully disagree. Deleting duplicates to only have them uploaded again doesn't sound reasonable behaviour to me. Would it be possible to link where this was discussed before so I can get better informed about the reasoning behind it?

I can understand that repeating or explaining yourself again and again can get tiresome, your time is much appreciated.

This is happening to me too and it's is quite maddening.

I removed all duplicates using the web interface. At this stage the problem does not occur, because they still exist on the server in the trash, but as soon as you empty the trash, the Android app decides to upload them all again!

Duplicates occur each time you share photos via WhatsApp. You have the original photo and also the WhatsApp version, which is usually lower resolution. The deduplicate operation correctly removes the WhatsApp version, but it still exists on my phone, so it gets uploaded again.

Why is this closed? Is there a workaround?

UPDATE: This appears to be the same problem as described in #8285, which is still open.
