Face suggestions disappairing

I take some screenshots :

1- Three suggestions are displayed
2- I correct and/or confirm (enter) the first then the selection goes to the second item. Suggestions are always displayed... :
3- Without interaction, after one second, suggestions disappairs and are replaced by "Who is it ?" text
4- I press "F5" to refresh and suggestions are back again

Thanks

nonobio,

The Windows installer have been recompiled with last changes from source code
and is available here for testing :

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

Take a care : it's a beta release. Make a database backup before to test.

Problem still here ?

Gilles Caulier

Thanks. I prefer wait for next stable release :)

Hi,

The issue is still here with Digikam 6.1.0.

I can not reproduce the problem with the last GIT version of digiKam-6.1.0. It is possible that the problem is resolved. Can you test it please.

Maik

Hi Maik,

Issue is still here with digiKam-6.1.0-git-20190328T184909-Win64.exe

Thanks

I can not reproduce the problem. Can you please post your metadata settings or a screenshot of it. Do you use sidecar, if so, also the exact settings.

Maik

Hi,

This is a screenshot of my metadata settings (i didn't capture all the "view" tab content; tell me if you need it) :

I don't use sidecar for photos, just for videos.

Thanks

Hi,
The issue is still present with 6.3.0.
Thanks

Nothing has really changed between 5.x and 6.x about FaceManagement.

The big changes will come with next 7.0.0. I started to build pre-release bundles available at usual place:

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

Please test with this version.

Gilles Caulier

Is it risked ? I can wait for stable version...

Thanks

It's a beta. Create a new account and install DK 7.0.0 instead 6.x.

Import images in a new database and play with faces. Check if your problem still here.

After, uninstall 7.0.0, and go back to 6.x

Like this, using a separated account, you will not touch the production database generated with previous DK version.

Best

Gilles Caulier

By "new account", you mean : new windows user account ?
Maybe i could just try DK 7.0.0 on another computer...

This issue isn't urgent for me, i can wait. But if it can be useful for you to know if the bug is resolved in 7; i can test.

yes, one other account, or another computer, or.. a virtual machine, as you want...

7.0.0-beta1 is out with new Face Recognition algorithm based on Deep
Learning/Neural Network API from OpenCV

https://download.kde.org/unstable/digikam/

Please test and give us a feedback

Thanks in advance
Gilles Caulier

Hello,

I installed 7.0.0-beta1. I can't say if the issue is resolved because after analysing faces on a photo selection : none know faces are displayed. Maybe it is normal because it is a new Face Recognition algorithm ?

Thanks

digiKam 7.0.0 stable release is now published:

https://www.digikam.org/news/2020-07-19-7.0.0_release_announcement/

We need a fresh feedback on this file using this version.

Hi,

Sorry for my late reply.

I will test with Digikam 7.0.0 as soon as i can; i think in the next days or week.

Bye

Hello,

I tried with Digikam 7.1.0 win 64 but i have the same problem that with 7.0.0-beta1 :

I always have the "Who is it ?" field with none suggestions.

Also, if i compare to the 7.0.0 announcement post (https://www.digikam.org/news/2020-07-19-7.0.0_release_announcement/) : i can't found the same things like "reject this suggestion" button or the "help box".

Thanks

Please try digiKam-7.2.0-Beta1 whether the problem still exists. The training data must be rebuilt here as well. To do this, activate the option to rebuild the training data in the face detection/recognition section in the maintenance tool and run it.

Download from here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Maik

Hello,

After upgrading to 7.2.0-beta1 and rebuilding training data, a new analyze (doesn't ignore already analyzed) doesn't seem to give better results for me :

It doesn't found a lot of faces and i have none suggestions : all founded faces are "Who is it ?"

Thanks

After applying the recommandation of Maik in this comment (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420128#c7), i had some suggestionsand i can now confirm that the issue is still here and exactly the same with 7.2.0-beta1.

Thanks

Hello :),

The issue is still here with 7.2.0-beta2.

A new detail : when i am in step 3 (see screenshot) : if i clic on "confirm", the name is displayed and saved.

Hi Nonobio and happy new year,

Please check with digiKam 7.5.0 pre-release windows installer available here :

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

Thanks in advance

Gilles Caulier

Hello Gilles,

Thanks and happy new year too :) .

I just tested with 7.5.0 and I have the same issue :( .

I recently investigated this issue. I couldn't reproduce it for a long time. To reproduce it, faces have to be so close together that the widgets overlap. Only then does the problem arise. So far I can say that deleting the name suggestions is not caused by the digiKam code. There must be an event within Qt, possibly related to the QComboBox/QLineEdit.

Maik

Hi Maik,

"To reproduce it, faces have to be so close together that the widgets overlap. Only then does the problem arise. "

Not for me : it happen even when widgets are distant and not overlapped, as you can see on my capture, and I just tried with 7.5.0.

I noticed something (since before 7.5.0), I don't know if it is important : when a suggestion is gone (but was present before to disappear) : if I just click on the "Confirm" button, the suggestion is displayed and confirmed (so I use it only if I had time to see that the suggestion was good). But if I just press "Enter" on my keyboard, to doesn't work.

Thanks

@nonobio
