Any tips and tricks on how to figure out why most of my pictures got discarded? #435

I have run elodie for the first time in its default configuration (on Windows). My source folder contains 13613 files in 156 folders. After running the program there is 983 files in 244 folders in the destination folder.

My pictures are a mess and there are many duplicates but there should be more than 983 unique pictures. It surprises me that the final number is this low.

Any tips and tricks on how to figure out why 12K pictures got discarded and how to validate that I am not missing pictures?

Is there a migration report or similar?

There's a summary that should be printed once the command completes

Can you delete the ~/.elodie/hash.json file and run it again with the --debug flag while saving the output? You can do this by redirecting the output like so.

./elodie.py --debug [........ your command params ..........] > output.log

The output should indicate the failures and duplicates. If you're unable to pinpoint the exact cause then it would be helpful to do the following.

  1. Share one of the photos and associated errors which should be in the output.
  2. Upload the output with any sensitive information removed and share a link. You can try https://pastebin.com/ or email it to jaisen@[my github username].com.
