Description of issue:
When selecting more than one file the progress bar jumps a bit around and then stops to show completion of one picture upload. When refreshing the first picture of the selection will be added, but the rest not - regardless how long I wait for the progress to be completed.
I’ve tested this via http to localhost in Firefox 102.0.1 and Chromium 103.0.5060.53. Exactly same behaivor.
What’s really weird is that the browser will consume a lot of CPU power to do basically nothing. (Chromium 60% of one core / Firefox a bit more).
How can we reproduce it:
Not sure, it’s 100% reproduceable for me. So not sure why this wasn’t seen before by other users.

- Include a ZIP file containing your
logfiles. - Provide pictures or links to videos that clearly demonstrate the issue.

We now start a new scan job that only scans the upload directory instead. This should fix it. It is currently available on the dev tag and will be available in a week in latest.
We upload the images/videos sequentially, so that should not be the issue. This is relevant code in the frontend: https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos-frontend/blob/dev/src/components/ChunkedUploadButton.tsx
I can upload multiple files on the demo server. I think that not uploading at all could be a file permission issue.
I did however notice, that the upload progress bar, jumps around, and then gets locked up, even though the images did get uploaded.
