Direct links to photos don't (always) work

[MissCatTrap]

Lychee version

v7.3.2

Did you check the latest Lychee version?

Yes, I did

Which PHP version are you using?

PHP 8.5

Detailed description of the problem

When using a direct link to view a specific image in an album, it does not always open the image and rather just show you the album view.

Also because your URL is for the image, and not the album, clicking on it to open it in full view does not work.

This issue does not occur for all images, and I believe it is linked to album size and it only occurs to me in my "SkyeTravels" album, which has 538 photos.

My latest photo in the album works: https://skyehaynes.me/photos/gallery/Y7NdDxed7g91CtLhPC-Yukf1/akMSF-V0rDRnm3YT7b_UqOER

However, this older one (25 Jun 2025) does not: https://skyehaynes.me/photos/gallery/Y7NdDxed7g91CtLhPC-Yukf1/Sin9AH1Uwsc7QuRCVPZeNwUH

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Click on a link to view an image (for example, on my Lychee instance this image): https://skyehaynes.me/photos/gallery/Y7NdDxed7g91CtLhPC-Yukf1/Sin9AH1Uwsc7QuRCVPZeNwUH

2. The following appears (vs expected below):

3. Additionally, if you scroll down to the image (25 Jun 2025) you cannot click on it to open it.

Apologies for the jumpscare of my face, also I should add, emedding still works correctly as expected (example on Facebook):

[ildyria]

Humm could it be because it is limited by the pagination ?

Can you increase the pagination chunk to a crazy high value, like 1000, and see if that solves it ?

[MissCatTrap]

I imagined it had something to do with Pagination (but didn't know there was a setting). Setting it to 1000, it now loads the correct view.

[ildyria]

Thanks, I will need to look into that. But not on top of the priority list as you can imagine. 😅

[MissCatTrap]

Fair enough. I assume it would not be ideal to leave it at 1000 for now, as it will try and load all pictures at once?
