> Note: When importing a Google takeout, Ente will parse the metadata in the
> JSON files and stich them together with corresponding files. However, one case
> this will not work is when Google has split the export into multiple parts,
> and did not put the JSON file associated with an image in the same exported
> zip. So the best move is to unzip all of the items into a single folder, and
> to drop that folder into our desktop app.
