Build Identifier: 

I´ve got quite a number of faces (=persons) in ma collection.

To further improve visual appearence, I drag some pre-views to an empty album-icon.

The pre-view is the result of (automatically by Digikam DK) recognized or manually selected areas of pictures withen the according faces.

Instead of using these (small) areas, digikam uses the _whole_ original picture(!!) for the album icon. Therefore, each detail becomes tiny and appears completely unrecognizable.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. please use the selection of faces in Album review, when dragging-dropping the faces to album-icons.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
hoping for improvements :-)!

Expected Results:  
In this case, it would make sense again: when using the earlicer selected picture areas for a very face, one could recognize this face again because of reasonble sizing

@Axels,

What's about this file using current 8.2.0 AppImage Linux bundle ? It's
reproducible ?

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Note: bundle is now based on Qt 5.15.11 and KDE framework 5.110.

Thanks in advance

Gilles Caulier
