Context
Just started dumping my iCloud library to PhotoPrism via PhotoSync, I chose to keep HEIC rather than convert to JPG on PhotoSync.

Problems
I noticed that my thumbnails were looking out of focus, turns out those thumbnails are for the Live Photos not for the HEIC files.

Here you can see that the jpg was generated for the mov not the heic

Solution
Is it possible to force PhotoPrism to generate thumbnails for the HEIC rather than the Live photos?
