Photo Upload Info

Because I travel a lot and use my phone camera almost exclusively, I tend to have a large lag time between when a photo is taken and when it is uploaded (approximately twelve months recently, although I am working to get it down to a close to real-time as is logistically possible by the end of the year). I stopped including dates in the title or description because I believed that the file information section always contained this. As well as being visually cleaner without it in the title it was a bit of a faff.

To my horror this morning I found that a photo I took in 2017 and uploaded in 2018 didn't have that key data. So I did some test uploads, because I suspected that it was the editing process that was the problem. In fact, a photo uploaded individually does list all of the data, whereas exactly the same photo uploaded in a batch of thirty loses almost all of it. I'm not going to probe at precisely what number of uploads this loss of information happens, but looking back now I can see that at least small groups of about five seem to be fine.

So, my question is, is this a bug, or a basic property of large uploads?

Here are the photos that illustrate the predicament:

Bison Statue - ZooChat

Test Bison - ZooChat

 

Just for information, batches of ten retain the data, which will be my new standard uploading procedure.

(Although I suppose this issue may be triggered by total size rather than number of uploads)

 

For what it's worth, I like seeing the date in the caption (but not necessarily in the main title).

 

I'm having some issues with uploading images - once selecting the image, a pop-up saying something like "unable to perform function due to low memory" appears. Has/is anyone else having similar issues? Thanks.

 

Via mobile here, I shall try again now. Thanks!

 

Seems to be okay now, thanks Simon!
