BUG? - Too few pictures imported

I imported tens of thousands of photos. The progress bar was seeing tens of thousands of photos. They processed suspiciously fast (less than 1 hour). Sure enough, there are only about 2,500 assets in the library. Way too few even if I had a 50% rate of duplicationā€¦

So I looked in the logs. I see A LOT of errors.

This is 1.0.0-beta.4 on Docker (specifically a NAS running UNRAID)

I tried to send the logs through the UI, that fails also.

Crap, it looks like thereā€™s something wrong with the docker image: is it missing the jpegtran tool?

The error with the info tool is due to your shell splitting the filename on whitespace. Try wrapping your filename with double quotes.

well, I did figure out that indeed, none of my thousands of jpg imported. It imported all my gif, png, tiff, heic

I do see jpegtran

Ugh, I think the alpine docker image may be grumpy with the libc compiled jpegtran: we want the musl jpegtran in /usr/bin.

Iā€™m away from my desk until next week: beta. 3 or beta.2 may be the best build to run in docker, at least until I fix this next week.

Thereā€™s also a couple settings that let you tweak the tools path, so that could be a workaround as well (but require a bit more work than just pulling the prior image: they should be tagged with the full version)

beta.2 works! beta.3,4,5 donā€™t.

Thanks for that detective work: Iā€™ll get on this first thing when I return to my desk tomorrow morning.

Hmmmā€¦ for me the first image with this issue is beta.4, and beta.3 works fine

I could swear it wasnā€™t working on beta.3ā€¦ Maybe I screwed something up in my testingā€¦

No matter, looking forward to test beta.6 on Monday!

Actually, I retried on beta.3 and it does indeed work fine. I probably was confused with what appears to be another bug, where a library sync (or initial scan) doesnā€™t appear to show any pictures/assets until the container is restarted.

Iā€™ve just released beta.6 with the one-line-fix for this issue. There are a couple other bugs I need to address (like the search results rendering incorrectly) that will come in beta.7 later today.

I can confirm this bug is definitely fixed on beta.6
