I'm importing a Google Photos takeout to Immich using immich-go.
In some cases, the image was already in Immich, but immich-go uploaded it anyway. That's fine, but immich-go should probably update the date in Immich using the associated supplemental-metadata.json

The file previously exist in Immich but didn't show up in my gallery for yesterday, which probably means it had the correct (or correct-ish) timestamp.

Image taken date: 2014-04-04 09:12:11 (correct date)

immich-go processed image: file stat, mediainfo, checksum and supplemental-metadata:

I need more details on you case.
Could you re-run the import in same conditions but with --log-level=DEBUG --api-trace and share the logs?

Alternatively, could you share in a ZIP file:

  • the initially loaded file
  • the JSON and the file from the takeout

I'll replay the sequence on my test server

It's probably better you reproduce this. In the meantime you responded I have found the originals, removed all problematic images from Immich and re-uploaded the originals with correct metadata.
