Probably many people store both, raw and jpg images. To increase the speed for the face detection step, I think it would be great if a user could constrain the search by the filetype - let's say select jpg only.

I don't know if we want to further complicate the selection of images to scan. You can also add a "Scan" tag to all JPGs and only search for faces with this tag. Furthermore, the loading of RAW files is not time-critical because we use the existing JPG preview for face detection and the face coordinates are extrapolated to RAW.

In addition, an item-based search for faces is possible via the right context menu. You can use the Advanced Search to display all JPGs or exclude images using additional criteria and mark all images and start face detection.

Comment 2 does exactly what you want and more. I close the bug.
