Skipped small images

Snapattic keeps obvious tiny assets, logos, and tracking pixels out of the main recovered-photo folders so they do not clutter the archive or consume free-preview slots.

When the app has already downloaded and decoded a skipped-small image, it keeps a recoverable copy under:

Pictures/Snapattic/<account>/_review/skipped-small/

The review folder includes an append-only skipped-small.jsonl manifest with the image hash, dimensions, skip reason, original attachment filename when available, and the normal restore target. Restoring a selected item copies it back into the usual year folder, records its hash in the main saved-photo manifest, and marks the review item as restored. Restored items no longer appear in the pending review list, but the append-only manifest keeps the history for audit/debugging.

Pre-download junk decisions, such as an explicit logo or tracker filename with no downloaded bytes, do not create a recoverable file because there are no image bytes to restore.

Accessing the review folder

When the scan completes with any skipped small images, the done screen shows a “Show skipped images” button next to “Open folder”. Clicking it opens the recoverable _review/skipped-small/ folder in Finder. A persistent cloud review gallery is not part of the release candidate.
