Is there any change to see an update soon? “Losing” metadata (see above) is really getting frustrating!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Actually we don’t loosing metadata as pictures in JPG format support different compression level. What Seafile app has done is using specific level of compression to read and upload the photo.
Anyway we will look into the problem within two months. Currently, we have other urgent tasks.

Hello,
This seems only happening in the iOS Version of the Client !?
Under Andoid it seems working for me.
Is there any Update Plan ? Thank You.

Hello,
Are there any updates ?
Thank you !
As I explained, the concept of “original picture size” does not make much sense in iOS. In iOS 11, it uses .heic format, which you can’t use the original format when export to other systems since most other systems don’t support .heic yet. So it make more sense to discuss what resolution to use when exporting files.
Agreed, .heic is a damn stupid move from Apple.

I think it would still make sense to upload the photos as they are. Optionally you could allow the user to to also upload them as JPEG to be able to view them with any program he wants to. But at least using an iPhone the heic images should still be viewable and many iPhone users also use a Mac (I think) which should support viewing them as well.

Which version of your iPhone? If it is iOS 11, there is a new image format called HEIC, which can take up less storage space than JPG. However, HEIC images can only be compatible with iOS 11 as well as macOS High Sierra. Hence, many users use Joyoshare HEIC Converter to convert it to JPG. But you say you can see the picture that with different size, right? Then maybe some version has been done in Seafile. Anyway, be sure about the file extension first.
Hey! I’ve been dealing with the same syncing headache where the file sizes look right but the compatibility is just off because of the HEIC format. To save myself the trouble of re-syncing everything, I started batch converting the library to JPG before uploading. I’ve been using HEIC to JPG Converter - Convert Online for this lately since it’s quick and doesn’t seem to compress the life out of the original images. It’s a solid workaround if you just want your photos to be viewable everywhere without the sync drama!
