Having an issue where photos and videos from a .tar.gz Takeout are scanned just fine, but fail to upload. The logs with --api-trace and --log-level=DEBUG don't show any failures, they don't even show any attempt to try to upload it seems

Tried with 0.24.2 and 0.24.6, no success with either one of them

Args:

.\immich-go.exe upload from-google-photos --server=<redacted> -k <redacted> --api-trace --log-level=debug .\Takeout\

Tree of the Google Photos takeout files:

The screenshot misses the number of missing sidecar files. You'll find it in the log file.

Sorry about that, looks like there weren't many missing sidecar files. What I ended up doing to resolve the issue was I opened up WSL and tried using the Linux version, had no issues at all with that. I noticed that on Windows when I was trying to do individual folders, it didn't like when recursive folders had spaces in them. It would give errors like

CreateFile Takeout\GooglePhotos\Throwback Wednesday : The system cannot find the file specified.

No issues on Linux though 👍

You can surround the path having space with quotes

I tried with both double and single quotes with the same issue

This is unexpected. All takeouts have spaces and UTF-8 chars in folder and file names. I should have seen already this error.
Maybe a specific issue under windows?
