Can you reproduce this behavior with all new photos get added to the external library?

[natedawg]

I could reproduce this however I did some more testing and it's probably not an immich issue.

I use a samba share to upload photos to my server. When copying from my new Macbook the thumbnails fail. However copying from my Windows 11 desktop it works as expected. This is only like the second time I have tried uploading from the Macbook. I think Apples bad samba implementation is messing it up. Immich is detecting the photos before they are finished being copied.

No sure how to go about fixing samba on MacOS. I guess I will have use rsync to transfer from the Macbook.
