The bug

I am creating a series of albums and uploading pictures to them from my computer. I choose "Select from computer" for each new album I create. The Windows file select dialog opens with the "File Name" section pre-populated with the name of the directory I navigated to when selecting upload files.

I've done a bit more testing and this happens when the directory (from the first upload) is moved to a different location prior to selecting new pictures for the second upload.

This is handled by the browser, there's nothing Immich can do to affect it.
