โ“ Issue / Question

  • This method causes the loss of the download statistics associated with the first imported photos. Is there a way to merge the statistics of the captioned and uncaptioned photos, knowing that they have exactly the same file name
  • You download photos to caption them in another tool, re-upload them and delete the originals, and the download statistics of the originals are lost

ย 

๐Ÿ‘Œ Resolution / Answer

  • Download statistics can't be merged between two media, even when they have the same file name
  • Downloads of the deleted photos still count in your overall download statistics, but they don't carry over to the re-uploaded photos
  • To keep a photo's download statistics, keep the original media and edit its caption in ScorePlay instead of re-uploading it

๐Ÿ”– Notes

  • Deleting a media and uploading it again creates a new media with its own statistics, starting from zero
