Shotwell 0.30.14 on Ubuntu Ubuntu 22.04.1 | "Skip all" / "Ignore all errors" when exporting photos?

Recently tried using Shotwell to tag and export photos from an old harddrive.

Tagged A LOT of pictures (currently the tag I am trying to export contains ~5000 images) but running into problems when exporting them:

When a certain picture can't be read due to file errors I manually have to click on "Continue", I can't just tell Shotwell to ignore all errors and continue importing and show me a log of any errors at the end.

Ex:

Unable to export the following photo due to a file error.
<path-to-photo>
Would you like to continue exporting?
[Continue] [Cancel]

After a while of errors (see point 1 above) even though I try to click "Continue" the program gets stuck. It still seems I can click the "Continue" or "Cancel" but nothing actually happens and I need to force quit the application
I now have ~ 4000 out of ~ 5000 images exported but want to try the procedure again; there is no "Skip all" button for all files that are already exported so I individually need to click "Skip" on every image that already exists on my destination drive.

My only option is then to "replace" all images on my destination drive but then I run into point 2 again.

Any suggestions?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
