Albums created using shared client cannot be used by dedicated client (and vice versa) #102

Closed astronaut63 closed 3 years ago

Originally using V1.6.1 and had populated about 30% of albums. I then installed V1.8.0 (to use dedicated client). This created duplicate albums to the ones created by V1.6.1 After deleting 400+albums (using the excellent MiniMouseMacro) I started again with V1.8.0 (dedicated client) and new albums created. Had a separate issue with uploading (12% of albums) so changed to V1.8.0(shared client) and again found that all albums were created again.

Documentation is clear that albums created manually/by other tools cannot be reused by jiotty- suggest just adding some extra words to warn that this also applies to using shared client <-> dedicated client within Jiotty ?

Yes indeed, if you are using your client secret, it’s like a different application to Google Photos. So the behaviour is expected. I’ll update the documentation.

Added a lot of cross-links and mentions of own Client Secret functionality to the wiki. Hope it's not any more confusing now.

Thanks - much clearer
