When clicking on photos with the same name the first photo will pop up

[okwes]

Describe the bug When clicking on photos with the same name the first photo will pop up instead of the one clicked

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have multiple photos with the same name in different folders
2. In the photos app click on any of the ones with the same name. No matter which one you click on the same photo will pop up

Expected behavior The photo you click should pop up

[skjnldsv]

What do you mean, the same name?

[okwes]

yeah, so if I have xyz.jpg in one folder and again xyz.jpg in another when I click on anyone one of those the same one will always pop up

Here's a gif showing it:

Thanks! :) It make sense yes, moving to the viewer repository!

Is there any development on this bug?

Hi! I faced the same issue, on Firefox, with Nextcloud 22.2.2 installed on a Debian server. Similar logs are produced by the console:

Hi, I'm faced with the same issue.

Causing major issues int he family as they can see others photos, even though they have no access to the actual photo/folder

Any solution ?

[MarcSeebold]

Same here. Nextcloud's thumbnails show different photos, but when I click on "Download" I get the correct one.

Preview Generator: 5.0.0, Nextcloud 24.0.3

[adznon]

@skjnldsv

Has any progress being made on this, I am getting flack from family as people can see each others photos even though they dont have any access to those photos.

[skjnldsv]

@adznon nope, as you can see the labels have not changed and the milestone is clear

[adznon]

@skjnldsv Sorry didn't mean to come across condescending, Just getting grief from home around this issue.

Understand its on the backlog but still no progress or update for two years now.

Doesn't help me when one of my family saw a naked photo of there siblings girlfriend.... Considering it should of be protected as they are on different accounts with no sharing between them.

[skjnldsv]

@adznon No problem, I totally get it! The problem you mentioned is not related to this ticket, right? I don't see how the name opening would interfere with user sharing :thinking:

[adznon]

@skjnldsv

No its the same issue. The thumbnails show other peoples pictures.

i.e. User 1 has a photo called image1.jpg, user 2 has image1.jpg

User two will see the thumbnail from user 1's photo even though user 2 has no permission to user 1's files, although when clicking on it it will open the correct photo.

[skjnldsv]

User two will see the thumbnail from user 1's photo even though user 2 has no permission to user 1's files, although when clicking on it it will open the correct photo.

Whaaaat? We store previews by the fileId, it's not possible. Can you reliably reproduce the issue ? With new users ? Are they sharing data between the two?

This is very different from that issue. This one is about the same user having multiple photos across different folders with the same name opening them from Photos.

[gody01]

Nextcloud 25.0.3 still has this bug.

Click on Thumbnail displays piscture from completely different folder with ame name as is thumbnail. Image URL, which one get with right click on thumbnail picture is OK and it displays correct image in new window.

This behaviour renders Photos part of Nextcloud completely unusable :(

[unlucio]

I've being driven nuts by this bug :( I rebuild the whole filesystem a number of times, changed disks, changed filesystem all together. Ran `occ files:scan --all" a number of times. Removed everything and re-added everything, tried all the possible nextcloud docker images I could find on docker hub. And instead it was this 3yo bug 😭

[gody01]

I solved problem for me with renaming of all pictures to uniqid name (on linux, nextcloud client):

#
# Find pictures in form PICT*JPG and rename to uuid filename - for old scanned films ...
find . -name 'PICT*JPG' -print | while read FN; do echo $FN; mv -i $FN $(dirname $FN)/$(uuidgen).jpg ; done

It does put some burden to nextcloud server and client to sinchronize everything.

[unlucio]

well, of course you can rename all the files, but being able to handle same file names in different folders seems like a pretty basic requirement for a filesystem or an app dealing with files, doesn't it? For instance every time I use a gopro I start with an empty SD. The gopro using sequential file names means that every time I click on a preview some other picture opens up. I don't think that expecting to upload a folder with sequential names without going thru a rename ritual is an unreasonable expectation for something who's core feature is storing files.

[gody01]

I don't argue with You. Just mentioned my workaround. I also use freshly formated SD for each old film and have same problem with bug.

[unlucio]

I don't argue with You. no worry mate, it wasn't to argue with you.

Sometimes a work around might be perceived as "good enough" to solve a problem, pushing the bugfix down the line. I was only trying to underline how whatever workaround doesn't seem like a good possible solution for a problem when it's part of the core functionality. That's all.

If you're happy renaming, by all means rename away to your heart content 😅

[David-Rodriguez-cabrera]

I just created a problem about this in the photos plugin and found this, there is still nothing, right?

[carlorodrigues]

Yup. As far as I know, this bug has not been addressed yet.
