Hey,
I'm just wondering if there was an issue with the delivery of the email that says that your images were recovered.

Who here received it in the last couple of weeks?

I don't recall receiving an e-mail, but I did get a splash banner on AstroBin web pages.  I think the splash banner works as well as an e-mail since some spam filters might flag what are perceived as bulk e-mails.

Love the recent changes in AB, BTW.

Alright thanks all! I'll see what went wrong and I'll send them again to those who didn't recover yet using the banner!

Ciao Salvatore, to understand the current situation: is the recovery task still in progress or it's finished? I'm asking because seems you're talking about a reminder email or something like that, so sounds like the task is already over. I just want to understand if there's still hope for the images that aren't been recovered yet

Hi Vuur,
the recovery process is about 65% completed. Regarding hope:

 - non deep-sky images have a 50% chance to be recovered
 - deep-sky images have a 100% chance (50% high-res, with fall-back to low-res)

That's good news! I was afraid it was already 100% completed.
Also I thought that since this miracle is related to platesolving there was 0% chance for non deep-sky, so you're giving me 2 good news at once 
Grazie Salvatore e buona giornata.

Salvatore - I never received an email but logging in over the weekend I was able to select the recover all option and I am delighted that your hard work has recovered the lost images that I haven't manually yet recovered.  Thank you very much!    CS!

I have a question about the recovered images. I re-uploaded the JPEGs after the crash and rebuilt my astrobin library. I am concerned that the newly recovered images are going to create duplicate entries, but I am also uneasy simply deleting them.

Salvatore, can you please provide some guidance on what to do about images that users already recovered through their own means?

thanks,

Luca

Thank you, Salvatore. The video was very clear. All the recovered images where from my Staging area.

@Matt Harbison turns out the emails didn't work but I suppose your account hasn't been processed yet. Just keep waiting, there's still about 25% to go!

I had the same sort of duplicates question as Luca, but I'm still not sure the video explains my particular confusion.

For those worried about duplicates too, the key part of the video seems to be 4:20 to ~5:20. Basically, you'll never get duplicates; cool.

But the implication I still get from the video is that self-recovered images will be OVERWRITTEN if I hit Recover in the recovery process, which I don't want -- because I already manually recovered, and I'm happy with my self-recovered images.

The only "do nothing" option seems to be to ignore the recovery message entirely -- which you can't do well, because you're stuck with it reminding you all the time. (I assume it will stop reminding at some point?)

The message in the recovery interface header says "[you can] manually confirm or reject". That would be great, but there's no "reject" button. You can only confirm or DELETE. There is a strong warning note that says you should NEVER delete. That's great, I don't want to delete, I just want to reject.

How do I REJECT without deleting?

BTW, the header also says "You can also use the "Recover all" and "Delete all" buttons at the bottom."

I see no such buttons in my interface.

This is incorrect. The video states quite clearly that the self-recovered images are exactly the same as the images that were never lost in the first place, so AstroBin did nothing to them, to begin with.

The thing is... AstroBin has already performed all the actual file operations, when you click "Recover all" you just set a database flag that confirms it, nothing more.

If in your list of recovered images you see some images that you think you already recovered manually, it's because you missed some revisions and left them there hanging.

It's NEVER dangerous to click recover all.

BTW, the header also says "You can also use the "Recover all" and "Delete all" buttons at the bottom."

I see no such buttons in my interface.


Really? They are in a fixed position, always at the bottom-right of the screen, regardless of the scroll position. Try resizing the window or using a different browser? I checked on mobile too, they should work.
