Description copperlanding 2021-08-02 12:15:02 UTC 
SUMMARY
I scanned and recognized already *25.000 pictures. Now I want to add a new folder of freshly shoot pictures. I ran face detection first (and are able to specify the folder with the second tab which specifies the directory - bottom left of Software ). After detection process is finished I want to run face recognition. This ONLY works for the entire pictures. I am unable to specify the folder in the Second tab since all is grayed out ??!!  What do I do wrong?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add new folder/album
2. Run face detection
3. run face recognition 

OBSERVED RESULT
Can‘t specify recognition folder


EXPECTED RESULT
Select only new folder/album for face recognition 


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: Big Sur latest version 
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version:
KDE: 7.3.0
Qt Version:

Means the face recognition runs again through 25.000 +new pictures…
Comment 2 Maik Qualmann 2021-08-02 13:20:37 UTC 
This is not a bug, face recognition is automatically carried out on all unknown faces.

Comment 3 Maik Qualmann 2021-08-03 06:09:14 UTC 
The problem in the past has been that based on the faces, the users have no idea at all which albums to have enable in face recognition. So albums were activated in which nothing could be recognized and one suspected poor facial recognition.

Thanks Maik. However it is very time intensive to always run through all albums instead of only the new shoots.
