Adding a picture sometimes doesn't work

I’ve noticed when adding a picture that sometime it doesn’t add, even trying it a few times but if I select another picture that one will work and then I will delete it then try the first again and it works… I’ve also noticed that some pictures are added but they have a red border with a blob of red in the centre, like it can’t render the pic. Same thing if I delete it and try again it works.

Very odd…

Something I’ve noticed is if you have iCloud Photos syncing up to the cloud you get issues with photos loading in Valance. Try loading the photos app first and scroll to the bottom of all photos. If you see a message about photos still left to sync wait till that has disappeared before adding the photo in valance. Also if you are on battery power you will sometimes see the option to force a sync if it is paused.

Hopefully that helps.

The first issue you mentioned is to do with it already being selected in your library. If it doesn’t import because of the other issue I mentioned in my previous reply you need to unselect it so it is not ticked in the photo picker and then retry.

I have iCloud sync turned off in my photo library, actually the entire iPad and in Valence its off as well.

I’ll check to see if already selected and I’ll try unselecting it.

if you can, please record a small video so I can help debug further!

I tried to upload a .mp4 but it’s not support in the forum. It only happens if I select a picture and add it to the scene, then delete it from the scene and try to re-add it. When it goes to the photos it’s already selected and won’t re-add it. Even if I unselect and reselect it still won’t add. I have to pick another picture to the scene, delete it and then go back to the original picture and then I can add it. It’s something to do with it already being selected when it opens in photos. Running latest version of the Valence.

Thank you for the breakdown. I’m going to investigate this next week.

Still broken in 1.17. If you try and add a second reference pic it always shows the first one now matter what or a red blog in the middle of the image…
