Not all images backed up #19

Open pieterdt opened 7 years ago

pieterdt commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Based on the stats in Flickr I have about 36k images, the backup option only downloaded a bit over 30k images. The amount of video's doesn't explain the difference. Any idea what might be causing this difference in count?

Kind regards

Hm, not sure. :-(

Are there different file types (gif, jpg, png, ...)? Or different permission levels? Or file sizes?

Any errors in the output? (Although, I know we need to fix the fact that it outputs too much info by default! Should just show errors and some progress really.)

Checked for different image types, and there were some, but less than 100. The 'failed download' files only contain messages about video that is still unsupported (which is fine). The output is pretty verbose indeed, it mentions every file while downloading it... I checked the output log after cleaning the stuff that went ok, and no signs of any errors.

It's difficult to figure out if it has to do with permissions, Flickr is also not more detailed in the statistics. I would guess that if they report on your account content, it is only your content. Then again, I'm not a member of any groups of which the content might be counted into my content.

So all in all: still a mistery.
