The bug

When downloading media that is stored in an external library via the Android app it's shown as a seperate image and uploaded to the users upload directory. Finally, there are two copies of the same file: the original in the external library and the copy in the users directory.

Here's an example:
The picture with the train on the right is stored in an external library owned by my user. I downloaded this one. It appeared a second time (the one on the left) and got uploaded to my users upload dir.

Reproduction steps

  1. Enable Sync in Android App and configure it for syncing all Albums or at least select the "Immich" directory, so the app can recognize the downloaded pictures.
  2. Download a photo from the timeline which is stored in an external library.
  3. Reopen the app or refresh the view and trigger a sync if that's not done automatically.

You will see the image twic:. one with the cloud icon in the bottom right corner and another with the crossed cloud icon (at first) or the cloud icon with a checkmark in it (after sync).

Relevant log output

No response

Additional information

In contrast, the download works fine for photos from the users directory itself (e.g. the one with the smoke detector).

Both images (original and duplicate) show in the web interface as well and are detectet as duplicats in the Review Duplicates tool.
image

Same behaviour without the ro flag in the docker-compose.yml.

I could reproduce the issue on different devices, both with the most recent version of the mobile app from the Play Store at the time: OnePlus Nord 2, Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019)

This is working as expected, external libraries are not considered in the upload process.
