[BUG] SkyDrive method '/files' returns picture=null

Question

When calling /files method, for some particular photos, the picture attribute is returned null (its always the same photos, not random).

Answer 1

Are these your own files, or someone else's?

Answer 2

The album was shared to me in order to be able to debug, but issue happened exactly to the account owner. On an album of 5, 2 were not shown. It happened also in other folder with more pictures.

Answer 3

The user reports now he sees all pictures, so was it a hotfix you applied?

Answer 4

I'm not aware of any hotfixes from yesterday.  Were the pictures only recently added to these folders?
I tried to reproduce the issue using my own folders but wasn't able to, so I don't know what the issue may have been.

Answer 5

Maybe it takes some hours/days to build the thumbnails cache?

Answer 6

I just checked on this, and I'm not seeing any lag time between uploading photos to SkyDrive and having the "picture" property appear when calling /files.  This may have been a temporary issue -- let us know if you see this behavior with more files.
