Bug ID: 441092
Summary: Ability to resume "clear and rebuild all training
data"
Product: digikam
Version: 7.3.0
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Faces-Maintenance
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jan...@inbox.lv
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
For a sufficiently large photo collection, "Clear and rebuild all training
data" for face recognition takes a lot of time. If digiKam is restarted during
the process, the process seems to be stopped (incomplete?, cancelled? undone?)
without any messages and explanations, and does not resume in order to get
properly finished.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a large collection of images with marked faces.
2. Tools -> Maintenance -> Clear and rebuild all training data
3. Let it run to 10%.
4. Close digiKam.
5. Open digiKam.
OBSERVED RESULT
When closing, no warning about interrupting face rebuilding process and
information about consequences.
When digiKam is reopened, nothing happens, no maintenance process is resumed.
EXPECTED RESULT
When digiKam is reopened, the face DB rebuilding process should be resumed.
If not, at least a warning about interrupting face rebuilding process and
information about consequences should be displayed when closing digiKam.
In my opinion, an even better UX approach would be if the rebuilding process
could be done in the background, on demand – as soon as any face-related data
gets changes (e.g., the user confirms a new face), so the user does not have to
worry about existence of such maintenance commands, and when or whether they
should be executed.
