#Different images with same name considered duplicates on upload

I have a lot of photos that I can't upload because they have the same name as other already uploaded photos, is there a way to bypass this somehow without having to bulk rename the files.
(This is because my camera gives the files sequential names and it resets the naming every time after formatting the card so I'll have multiple completely different images named IMG_001.)

What are you using to upload?

#

Immich definitely doesn't reject files based on filename

I am using the default immich web interface (localhost:2283)

#

It seems that I have some files with same names that did upload

#

But not the ones I'm currently trying to upload
