Missing tons of photos and videos #205

Closed palijn closed 1 year ago

Just ran GPTH on a large Takeout. Something is amiss, half the photos have disappeared. The original Takeout was backed up as Takeout-BACKUP, the GPTH output was Takeout-GPTH. Here are the numbers :

% find Takeout-BACKUP -iname \*.jpg -print | wc -l 25356 % find Takeout-GPTH -iname \*.jpg -print | wc -l 12670 % find Takeout-BACKUP -iname \*.mp4 -print | wc -l 4294 % find Takeout-GPTH -iname \*.mp4 -print | wc -l 2146

The GPTH run told me at the end : Skipped 10 duplicates Couldn't find date for 14 photos/videos :/

I'm therefore missing 12686 photos and 2148 videos. That's terrifying. What can I do now ?

Thanks for your help !

Note : the GPTH command was gpth-macos -i Takeout -o Takeout-GPTH --albums duplicate-copy --divide-to-dates Having selected duplicate-copy , and there are 553 albums in total, I was expecting to get MORE photos at the end…

False alert, sooooo sorry … How dumb am I. I forgot to dot_clean my backup dir before counting the jpg/mp4 files. See #203
