SUMMARY "Scan for Faces" ("Nach Gesichtern suchen") for an album with nested sub-albums doesn't scan sub-albums. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In "Album view" select an album with zero enries but with sub-albums. 2. For this album click "Scan for faces" ("Nach Gesichtern suchen") in the context menu. OBSERVED RESULT The album and all of its sub-albums should be scanned for faces. EXPECTED RESULT Only the album itself (which is empty - zero entries) is scanned and the scanning process terminates immediately - without any results, of course. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Win10 x64 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: Found in DigiKam 6.1.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It is not intended to scan all sub-albums as well. This function is for fast scanning of currently selected album. You can select and scan the sub-albums in the "Peoble" tab in the album selection. Alternatively, you can activate the display of sub-albums in the view and then select all items and scan for faces via the right mouse button menu. Maik

People tab-> Scan collection for faces-> Options-> Albums tab This is the "old" way that was only available so far. Or: Main menu-> view-> [x] include Album Sub-Tree Now you can select in the Icon view the images to be scanned. Right-click-> search for faces The automatic search in sub-albums would not be controllable, for users who do not want the sub-albums to be scanned. There is already a bug entry for the behavior that only one album can be selected in the album view. Maik

This way is similar to the "Maintenace" window. As it is not very intuitive, addressing this as a workflow issue seems to me approriate. And in this window as well as in the "Maintenance" window, I was not able to find an "include sub-albums" option to control the operation. > Or: > > Main menu-> view-> [x] include Album Sub-Tree > > Now you can select in the Icon view the images to be scanned. Right-click-> > search for faces I see. I already have set "[x] include Album Sub-Tree". So, when I click on an album, the entries of all sub-albums are displayed, too. Thus I expected that "Scan for faces" would use the same setting and scan all the displayed items. I would use "Ctrl+A" to select all items, and right-click on one of the items rather than on the album? Again, as above, I would like to address this as a workflow issue. > > The automatic search in sub-albums would not be controllable, for users who > do not want the sub-albums to be scanned.

The automatic search would be controllable via the "[x] include Album Sub-Tree" flag: - When you select an album, depending on the setting you get either the pictures of the album itself or including the ones from the sub-albums. - When you right-click on the same album and scan for faces, you would scan either the album itself or the album and its sub-folders, depending on the setting. This way, the "Scan for faces" function follows the display function which is more intuitive than the current behaviour. > > Maik
