Docs - "Files not selected" definition

[tkodev]

What does this mean? I can't understand it in the context of google photos takeout uploads.

I need more information. What is the command you have used?

[krzemyczek]

I don't know either what's meaning of this, is it normal? i used command: /immich-go -server http://192.168.xxx.xxx -key ******** upload -album="something" -create-stacks -google-photos 'path/to/file'

[simulot]

The log explain reason of the non selection. Maybe the trashed photos.

[krzemyczek]

is there any way to upload trashed?

[krzemyczek]

okey, chatgpt was helpfull there as a workaround you can remove ' "trashed": true, ' from .json files

1. make copy of your folder
2. in terminal go to your folder with .json files: cd /path/to/your/json/files
3. then type: find . -name "*.json" -type f -exec sed -i '/"trashed": true,/d' {} +
4. type: ./immich-go -server http://192.168.xxx.xxx:zzz -key ******** upload -google-photos path/to/your/folder

[simulot]

Trashed files are ignored and counted as not selected .do nothing special... And check the log file for significant errors

Ah i see, "selected" photos means photos to be uploaded? I'm trying to understand the terminology used

[simulot]

If photos are selected, they are uploaded. The log should give you the fate of each file.
