"Motion Photos" create entries for missing files in autoupload list
Actual behaviour
The Harry Potter-esque Motion Photos (Android naming - iOS calls it Live Photos) are uploaded as they should, but it seems as if there are temporary jpeg files which are tried to be autouploaded but then could not be found. This creates a lot of entries in the "uploads" sections of the app with the following content: "IMG_20181028_161552_095.jpg - Lokale Datei nicht gefunden" The file name of the correctly uploaded motion picture is silghtly different: MVIMG_2018... There is no file in the local photo directory without the MV in front of the filename.
Expected behaviour
Just ignore the temporary created jpg files.
Steps to reproduce
Settings:
- Only on WIFI: yes
- Only when charging: no
- Use subfolders: yes
- Keep original files: in original folder

@mario @tobiasKaminsky @ardevd what do you think? I'd say if the files don't exist anymore and thus can't be uploaded we should simply remove the list entries after a while (can't say if we can measure the time, like 3 days or something...). If we can't measure the time then I'd say we should simply remove them or have a menu entry for it (if it isn't already covered by the existing menu entris visible when expert mode ist activated).
@augustseptember can you try to activate the expert mode in the settings, this should give you a menu on the upload screen which should help with getting rid of these entries even though it is a manual step (for the time being).
Happy I could help you @augustseptember
Nevertheless we should have an automated housekeeping implementation in place :)
