The bug

When I try to add photos I see an icon Immich flag it as duplicate asset which isn't true. Sometimes it even comes to an absurd situation where it is comparing .MOV video to .HEIC photo.

The main problem is that there is no way to ignore this warning. In result the file isn't uploaded

Are those MOV files come from LivePhotos?

They aren't.

This deduplication mechanism cannot have false positive. Are the files perhaps in Immich's trash, or marked as archived?

You're right. I've checked everything again and it seems that files are messed up. My computer couldn't open some videos, but after changing its extension to .HEIC it turned up to be photo.

I don't know why, but when I backed up photos from my phone via USB it jumbled file names, extensions, folders of months and metadata.
