SUMMARY When searching for duplicates lower resolution images are often selected as reference images. Not related to the date of the image, it can be newer or older, doesn't seem to matter. Sometimes they are in the same album, sometimes not. From the forums it seems we ALL want the highest resolution, highest quality image to be "reference". What is the point of the "remove dupes" button if it's going to delete some of the highest quality images? Useless. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Detect duplicates 2. Scroll through results until you find a reference image that is lower quality than the "dupe". 3. OBSERVED RESULT There will be several cases where the lowest quality image has been selected as the reference image in error. EXPECTED RESULT It is expected that all reference images are the highest quality in each set of "dupes". SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 11 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This same behavior is present on Ubuntu also.
Is it really digiKam-8.0.0, is it correct? It is valid for older versions, but not for 8.0.0. Not only the date is used to determine the original image, but also the file size and image size. I've tested it with many sample images and the "better" image is always set as the reference image. Maik

I am running version 8. This is ->not<- fixed! Why are you lieing? Why not just admit it's not fixed?
The Windows installer 8.0.0 pre-release do not integrate yet the last commit in source code from comment #2 by Maik. This will fix your problem. You needs to wait a more recent rebuild of 8.0.0 windows installer available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/unstable/ Gilles Caulier
Hi Ron, 8.0.0 is published. This report is fixed now ? Best regards Gilles Caulier
I can have a look into this, because I worked a few days in this area so I am familiar with the code
Ron, can you give me sample images where this happens? You can also try to download some from the internet and crop them to get a simple reproducable example. So it is easier to fix the issue
I'm pretty sure the bug is fixed. I will test it again tonight with the new implementation. Ron tested a version in Comment 3 that did not yet contain the fix from Comment 2. Maik
Well... fixed or not fixed, that the Q (:=-))))... Gilles
