Large iCloud takeout/upload has multiple files of the same name - metadata being incorrectly recorded

[nickwebcouk]

I have ~600gb of photos and videos in iCloud. I have download the files using the data and privacy tool.

I have 12 zips. predominantly, they all contain a Photos/ folder which contains the images and videos, along with a variable number of "Photo Details.csv" files (Photo Details-23.csv, Photo Details-30.csv etc).

Each file, when unzipped, may contain files with the same name as in other zip files. Each folder has its own CSV files for photo details, however it appears that when uploading using immich go - only the details of one of the files is used in the upload of every file of that name - i.e

a file named

IMG_0403.mov

is within the zip files
9 of 12.zip and
11 of 12.zip

and the details of each file (with different MMCS) are in the respective Photo Details of each zip:

09/Photos/Photo Details-37.csv:12:IMG_0403.MOV,AcQTH38VUJ8ryqOCgiKuos3A5eCo,no,no,no,"Thursday August 29,2013 7:08 AM GMT",0,"Wednesday September 4,2013 9:10 PM GMT"

11/Photos/Photo Details-34.csv:114:IMG_0403.MOV,AYSZZDwMrFRpfZMZmC721ZAQuwIp,no,no,no,"Wednesday October 11,2017 3:53 PM GMT",0,"Wednesday October 11,2017 3:53 PM GMT"

Is there any way to have immich-go only read the files meta-data per folder instead of all at once?

Hi, did you find a solution for this?

I did not. I ended up uploading each folded separately, and still encountered other issues but it was good enough to get in what I needed.
