SUMMARY

Selection of albums for face scanning does not recurse.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

3. Deselect 'Whole albums collection'
4. Select a top-level album from the drop-down.
5. Press 'Scan collection for faces'
6. Note nothing happens; DigiKam reports 'Process is done' very quickly.
7. Act confused.
8. Google what might be wrong.
9. Ponder a bit more.
10. Give it a year.
11. Install new version of Digikam.
12. Repeat steps 1 to 9.

OBSERVED RESULT

Only the parent folder is shown as selected in the GUI.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2021-09-17 18:58:57 UTC 
This problem has been reported several times, it is not a bug. The behavior is by design and the same in all album selectors in digiKam, only the [x] selected albums are searched. A context menu with the right mouse button is available to select all children's albums at once.
