Created attachment 110174 [details] Before the problem where faces Test4, 5 and 6 are present. Using this function on the attached image (with Test4,5 and 6 faces) removes the face regions but leaves some People tags embedded. However it's not always reproducible, say 50%, and the number of People tags removed varies. See both after pictures. Executing Clear again does not remove the remaining tag. It has to be removed by Remove Tag -> People / TestX Remove Tag -> People / TestY Remove Tag -> People / TestZ etc.
Created attachment 110175 [details] After clear. Test 6 People tag remains.
Created attachment 110176 [details] Another attempt. Test 5 & 6 remain.

Currently I have tested it under Linux and could not reproduce the problem under SQLite or MySQL. Maik
Agreed, there's no problem under Linux. I previously reported that the face region remains embedded but I look again and just seems to be a database problem. The face boxes are present but there's no XMP region info embedded in the image. See attached. I view the same image in Linux and the face boxes are there.
Created attachment 110229 [details] Face Boxes but only in metadata.
Further to my previous comment I would have thought reread metadata fixes it but it doesn't. Is it possible to examine the database tables to confirm that these faces and tags are present?
Hardy, The 6.1.0 pre-release installer have been updated this morning. Please test and report to see if you can reproduce the dysfunction: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Note : reading database table is possible and very simple with SQlite and SqliteBrowser : https://sqlitebrowser.org/ Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 118825 [details] Video showing problem. The problem still there unfortunately. I attach a video with ten 10 identical images and "clear faces" on each in turn. Image 5.jpg and 7.jpg have a lingering tag so it's a problem about 20% of the time. Sometimes it's more often. Sometimes it's less.
More info: I did the same trial with the same images but in a local collection. Again 3/10 images had lingering Test6 tag. So I guess this eliminates NAS collections as a causal factor.
Created attachment 118826 [details] OK Metadata Yet more info: Also confirmed this is not a database problem because I confirmed the XMP metadata is definitely present using another tool.
