--- Comment #8 from Jonathan Kamens <m06kr...@anonaddy.me> --- Downloaded and launched 8.7.0 prerelease. Initial impressions: It popped up the window telling me to download new data files, then popped up a dialog on top of that telling me I had to retrain all face recognition data. Thinking that it probably needed the new data files to do that I attempted to click OK on the download window before responding to the retraining window, but that didn't work since the latter was a modal dialog forcing me to respond. I said yes to that, and it went away but did not seem to kick off a retraining job in the background as promised. Then I went ahead and downloaded all data files. Meanwhile my activity manager in the lower right corner said it was scanning all of my folders. That went on in parallel with the data file download. A few minutes after the download finished the scan got to 100% and then just stuck there, i.e., the background scan task never went away after reaching 100%. This _appears_ to be because it encountered a very large album directory at the very end of the list of albums to be scanned, and it's still scanning that directory, and that's why the task says 100% but hasn't actually gone away and digiKam is still working. (Determined by running strace on the digiKam process to find out what it's doing.) Except judging from strace, now it has finished scanning that very large album, and top and uptime both say that digiKam isn't consuming any measurable amount of CPU, and yet that background scanning task is still stuck at 100% and not going away. 🤔 Now I go to Tools > Maintenance and tell it to rebuild all face training data, and it hangs for a few seconds (not great) and then launches a task to start doing that. That appears to be working fine, though judging from how fast it's going it's going to take a very long time to complete. In the meantime, that scanning task is still in the task list stuck at 100%. I will come back to this ticket and comment on the actual subject of the ticket when the training rebuild completes. I have a lot of photos with a lot of faces that so that could take a while. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
