Latest update reinsert account / broke automatic sending settings

Open Pofilo opened this issue 2 years ago • 10 comments

Steps to reproduce

  1. Upgrade app to the last 4.4.2 version and run it
  2. Reconnect tou your account
  3. Go to Automatic sending settings, photos and videos are not uploaded anymore.

Expected behaviour

After the upgrade, my photos should been uploaded without going again in those settings.

Actual behaviour

Settings are overwrited and automatic sending is now disabled.

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

Didn't the message "Due to a change in the Nextcloud application identifier ..." appear?

Same behavior here; seen this behaviour in recent updates several times and just found out the auto uploading wasn't enabled anymore since may this hear. So, (again) have to catch up and resync all my (7000+) photo's while the app has crashed several times. Would be nice to have this issue fixed.

@marinofaggiana there ws no message "Due to a change in the Nextcloud application identifier ..." or any other indication the sync wasn'r running anymore.

I just spun up the app to make sure a specific photo is uploaded, and I was directly greeted by the setup page where you have to enter your Servers address..

Now, I got like 3 partial uploads which I all have to clean up due to Nextcloud working with file-timestamps instead of EXIF, file-naming has also changed, great way to start your week :)

Sorry, no offense, I am not complaining to someone who is doing this for free.. Just saying that this stuff will be hideous for everyone using this app on IOS. This is A LOT of work necessary to clean things up.

Mmm, updates the app yesterday to the latest release as the beta app was ended. After that I reconfigured the auto uploading as I just reported here. Just now starting the app again I get to see the "Due to a change in the Nextcloud application identifier ..." dialog. After the first login I get an account failed in the app (issue updating the credentials in the app as it seems to me I was logged in correctly using my password manager?), login second time is was successfull. Had to reconfigure the auto uploading again.

Unfortunately the forced change of the Apple Application identifier caused this nasty inconvenience.

Bummer, let's keep an eye on this in the next updates then.

In case somebody needs help with his workflow (pictures + videos only) regarding this change:

  • deduplicate files with something like dupeguru
  • some files still got uploaded (propably missing before) in my case, then you should try to align their file modify date to clear up your gallery, exiftool is your friend:

exiftool -if 'defined $createdate and $createdate ne "" and $createdate lt $filemodifydate' -overwrite_original -r /some/picture/path/ "-filemodifydate<CreateDate" -v

This will find files, which got createdate from exif defined AND filemodify (fileystem-timestamp) higher than this date

after that, you will have no duplicates and the timestamps align according to nextclouds inner logic

now you have to rescan your libary path:

occ files:scan --path=<affected username>/files/something/

and just to be 100% sure, create thumbnails:

occ preview:generate-all --path=/<affected username>/files/something/

I've got the same issue but also I have thumbnail wrong ratio with .heic files and none of the photos with live is uploaded as that how to fix that? Made only .heic and no compatibility and worked. Since update everything is really messed up :(

Got the same issue today on multiple phones that got updated to this version. All of my family members had to re-enable it and there was no notice it was disabled.

Would it be possible to implement a file-checking process to not re-upload everything and only upload missing elements?
