SUMMARY see $SUBJECT STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. start face detection on a number of images with the new engine (which is better but slower). 2. while it's running, try to edit a caption of an image, or description. OBSERVED RESULT For each image, when face detection advances to the next image, the cursor in any input field jumps. Editing will be destroyed and mangled. EXPECTED RESULT Editing image metadata should be possible with any background task running. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Neon with Digikam Appimage and all updates applied.
I cannot reproduce the problem. When I start face recognition and switch to album view, I can easily edit the title or caption in the left sidebar. What do you mean with the cursor jumps? Left / right or up and down, to the beginning of the line, etc? Maik
I also mean detection not recognition. Maik
Created attachment 137714 [details] screenvideo showing bug when editing captions during face detection Here's a video where I start face detection/recognition, and while it's running, try to edit the image captions. I am only typing the ABC, occasionally deleteing everything when the chaos is too big. Everything else - selection, cursor jumping to the first letter, order reversed, missing characters, etc is caused by Digikam.
Of course, you must not be in an item view that is currently being updated by adding newly found faces. Adding new elements naturally triggers events to reload the sidebar. If we suppressed this, we would have the problem that the information in the sidebar is not up-to-date. Just go to the album view or another search / date / tag album. Maik

I am already in the album view. My workflow is: - import images - geotag images - select all images in album -> right click -> Detect faces - while detection is running (because this takes time), - rate images (this works) - tag images (this also works) - add descriptions (this doesn't work unless I copy & paste the text) - etc. The weird thing is, with the old algorithm this worked quite well. Since the new (really better, thank you!) algorithm for face detection is implemented, the input fields reset after each image. The problem would probably also be solved if the sidebars would remember the cursor position of the currently active field (if any) and restore it, when it's being reloaded.
Or, alternatively, skip or postpone reloading the sidebar if there is a focused input field in the sidebar. This makes sense, because in this case, users probably don't care about the tags being up to date because they are doing other editing. Reload as soon as the input field loses focus.
I cannot reproduce the problem as you describe it. I can easily edit the title and caption fields. In this scenario there are almost no events as no new items are added to the view and the current selection does not change automatically. Have you activated OpenCL? Possibly a problem with your graphics card / driver in conjunction with the hardware acceleration in Qt. Maik
Hi Jens and happy new year, What about this file using current 7.5.0 pre-release Bundle available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
