I tried to update meta-data for some albums and in some occasions it failed, and removed the uploaded photos.
This is an issue, since most probably a retry would succeed, but in any case uploaded photos should not be removed.

This is the full failed response:

The following items could not be analysed and were removed:
DSC_2070: mkdir(): File exists
DSC_2069: mkdir(): File exists
DSC_2067: mkdir(): File exists
DSC_2079: fopen(/storage/app/analysis-queue/09vm0p0y0x/5kwdj10y9nitxoi50cyk.jpeg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

In this case the process should skip these files and give the chance of a retry, or at lease ask for permission to delete those files.

Did it actually remove the record from the photos table or the physical file from the storage location? Ignore the path it’s given you in the error message - that’s a temporary storage path while it’s re-analysing. Check the place where the image files are physically stored (I.e. defined in your storage location.)

It definitely should not delete the originals! See your other ticket about upload/analyse failure - the fix in that should correct the reason why the metadata re-analyse failed.

I think the message still says it removed them because it’s the same screen used when analysing a new upload which does remove an uploaded file if the first analysis fails, but I don’t think it actually will have removed anything.

LNT00:

The uploaded files were removed from storage, i searched for file names, not the analysis-queue location.

I will look further into this. maybe i can catch something to reproduce it with.

LNT00:

No, actually the files are not removed from storage (local storage). Maybe replace the message with something friendlier?
Also, although it fails for a certain file, metadata update is displayed as up-to-date for the album. A bit inconsistent.

On the other side, is there a bulk update option? It would be useful for large number of albums like in my case.

The message has been updated in 2.1.1 to remove the wording saying it will remove the photo.

Issue #81 raised for bulk updating metadata.
