Bug ID: 388981
Summary: Ability to set "Reference Album" for Find Duplicates
Product: digikam
Version: 5.7.0
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Searches-Similarity
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: firndel...@live.com
Target Milestone: ---
Currently the only thing I can get Find Duplicates to do is compare all images
to all other images within a directory (or set of multiple selected
directories), or to compare a single image to a set of albums/directories.
Based on the Restriction options to Include/Exclude the "Reference Album[s]" I
at first thought there was a way to select a reference set and find all
duplicates of that reference set within a target set.
Specifically, I imported a folder of images and wanted to see if any of them
were duplicates after importing as I had not yet set up the fingerprints. I
didn't want to search every image in my collection against every other, just
every image I had just import against the rest of the collection--still a long
task but much shorter!
After a lot of troubleshooting there didn't seem to be a way to do this. If
there was a way to do it, there was at the very least no clear way to tell what
the "Reference Album" was currently set to other than the (usually empty)
window of "Reference Images" containing already suspected duplicates. This is,
for me at least, a really important feature for making Find Duplicates and
other Similarity Searches more useable--searching either one image at a time or
checking an entire set against itself are both very wasteful tasks compared to
what I find myself actually wanting to do with the feature!
