Hello everyone! I uploaded annotated images to my dataset. In the dataset overview it says I have 3118 images, but when I open the dataset it only shows 3115 images and a question mark icon. When I hover over it, it says that the images are still being added to the dataset, but this has been taking a very long time already. Does anyone know how to fix this issue or why the images are not fully appearing in the dataset? - **Project Type:** semantic segmentation - **Operating System & Browser:** Windows 11, Mozilla Firefox - **Project Universe Link or Workspace/Project ID:** test-et0no - **Do you grant Roboflow Support permission to access your Workspace for troubleshooting?

Hi Hana, Whatā€™s the workspace id? I canā€™t seem to find your workspace just from the Project Id. Thanks, Erik ---

Iā€™m getting a similar thing happening. I uploaded 79 frames and when i try to self annotate, I get an endless buffering screen. Stays stuck on ā€œloading imageā€. This happened immediately after i purchased $190 worth of credits. Oh, and I canā€™t email support because i dont pay for a monthly subscription. Not impressed šŸ˜ ---

Same exact problem with me. It wonā€™t add images to the dataset and wonā€™t even download the annotations correctly when passing from ā€˜versionsā€™. Any updates? ---

I also experience this too, my fix was duplicate the project and the duplicated one got their annotated images state update to ready for export ---

just FIY, solved it by changing the split of the dataset. Move all images to ā€˜testā€™ and they will appear into the dataset. This was suggested by another user on this forum. ---
