Short question: Is there a way to print a list after an upload through the browser of what files were ignored as duplicates and possibly what file they were deemed a duplicate of?

Background: I'm new to Immich. I have a hard drive full of photos that I want to pull into my library. I've always been pretty meticulous about pulling pics off my phone and storing them on this drive. I create a new folder when I pull them and I dump everything currently on the phone into the folder. I'm usually really good about deleting the pics off the phone at this point. I don't have a database to manage it or anything, so it's possible there are duplicates between the folders, but I suspect the numbers to be low. I use Google photos too to back up the phone, but I do this with a lower resolution to save space. So, I consider the hard drive pictures to be the originals and what I want in Immich.

I've been uploading my photos in batches (1 folder at a time). I'm uploading through the browser from the localhost and during the upload Immich is saying sometimes as many as half the files in a folder are duplicates. I get the pop-up toast list of duplicate warnings in the browser, but this isn't useful for more than a handful of duplicates. I'm getting notices that hundreds or even thousands of pics were ignored. I can't find a log anywhere. I have looked at the duplicate tool in utilities, but this seems to be trying to use ML to detect similarities in the photos after they were uploaded. There are only 5 photos in there to review.
