Karl do you think the logging of X3 could show more info on things like that?...missing files etc?
Not really related to this topic, as the issue with "duplicate photos" is a
server bug, and the timeouts and errors are not related to missing files (not normally at least). The "unknown error" is simply a failed upload, and X3 itself often doesn't know why an upload fails. It can be firewall, corrupt files, network problems or insufficient storage space, which in all cases doesn't report back to X3. The upload just fails or times out.
As for your case with "missing file", I was surprised to hear this. Why was it missing? Although it could be technically possible for an app (like X3) to continuously validate that ALL files exist on server, this is not a practical or logical approach. It would be slow, and files can still be corrupt. I don't think any other apps do this, and it should not essentially be X3's responsibility to make sure all files exist. This should be a requirement for any app.
Having said that, there is always room for improved error reporting of course.
