Ios: AutoUpload bug

Created on 21 Jul 2017 · 7Comments · Source: nextcloud/ios

Hi guys,

I got a problem with the auto-upload function. If all photos and videos are backed up, the app will upload photos and videos again if I watch them through the Photo App or send them via iMessage etc. It is still annoying and I have tried to delete and restall the app ...

Is there any option get this problem solved?

Best

@marinofaggiana I agree with @bmf89. The photos view in the app should respect creation date and not modification date.

For example; when I browse photos with the app, the app should not update the meta data and put that photo / video on todays date. It should stay as the date it was taken/created.

Hi @bmf89 if you modify a foto or video the nextcloud ios resend it ... but only if changed the "modify data item" on camera roll

Ok but why are these "modified" photos and videos still in the "today" view under "Photos"?

Example:

I open a photo which I took month ago and just send it via iMessage
Nextcloud load it up
under "photos" it is on the "today" view but this photo is an old one and I haven't change anything on this photo

On my point of view there are two possibilites:

The view von Photos is totally wrong and the App just check recently changed meta data or what else and ignore the creation date. It is really better at Dropbox ...
There is a bug

I don't know how work Dropbox, I check the ID item + Creation Date + Modify Date, if changed for me is a new photo or a modify foto .... this strategy is a new experiment ... if this is too we will see it in the future, I have make a test with send a photo with iMessage but Nextcloud do not resend it.

New tests are welcome !!

@marinofaggiana Is it possible to implement an option to choose between a sort by "creation date" and "modification date"?

For now the API from server detect only the lastmodifieddate for item (item = files, directory etc), do not exists API for managed image.
