Bug description

Hi there,

i upgraded to Nextcloud 31.0.0, everything seems fine and okay, the Administration Portal also tells me that everything is fine. But i can no longer share images in the Photos App. It works in the Files app, but when i open the sidebar in the photos app, it opens, closes again and instantly opens again and is then empty (kinda like flickering).

When i select the next image with the Forward/Backword key, it also opens --> closes --> opens and is empty afterwards

I can see the following errors in the Console of the Browser

I tried clearing cookies/cache and also an Browser i never used with Nextcloud (Falkon, uses QtWebEngine), same result

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgrade to Nextcloud 31.0.0
2. Open the Photos App
3. Open an Image
4. Click on sidebar

Expected behavior

The sidebar opens and i can share or do other things.

seems related to #51319

[fabianzw]

This is caused by a missing undefined check in FileInfo.ts and should be fixed in version 31.0.1RC1 (see #51077). 👍🏻
