Description mahikeulbody 2021-02-07 15:57:34 UTC 
SUMMARY
Scan faces function scans all albums even an only one album is specified.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. many albums never face-scanned (50000 files)
2. select an album (14 files) to detect faces in the dialog box of faces workflow
3. run detect faces

OBSERVED RESULT
The process take hours so one can think it is scanning all the albums, not the only one selected which contains only 14 files

EXPECTED RESULT
Faces detected only for the selected album

No, digiKam definitely only scans the selected albums. You have probably selected some on the tab for tags, so that images with the keyword are also scanned.

Comment 2 mahikeulbody 2021-02-08 08:19:28 UTC 
You are right, I had "whole tags collection" checked. I thought that it was an AND of both search criterias. Btw that would be more logical, no ?

Anyway, sorry.

Would it help to show the number of selected albums / tags in the header tab? Or does it look strange?

Comment 4 mahikeulbody 2021-02-10 07:13:47 UTC 
That seems a good idea.
(and may be also for the "search in" dialog of Similarity)

Comment 6 Ette 2021-03-09 17:03:15 UTC 
I think it would e more logical and practical to combine both conditions with AND.
So people can search in Pictures in an Album which has the specific TAG.
The existing OR-condition doesn´t makes sense zo me.
Comment 7 Maik Qualmann 2021-03-09 17:26:46 UTC 
It is an AND connection. You can choose albums AND images with a specific tag.
