SUMMARY Digikam downloads AI files to user specific storage STEPS TO REPRODUCE - Install digikam - Choose "yes" after (first) start to download AI model files - Goto Digikam Settings -> Misc -> System, Choose open local Storage" (for AI Files) OBSERVED RESULT -> Files were downloaded to "C:\Users\<xxxxx>\AppData\Local\digikam\facesengine, <xxxxx> being the user that is ciurrently logged in. Does that really make sense ? Digikam installs itself automatically "for all users" (without any choice to restrict it to a single user), and those files are nothing that is changed by the user (unless new versions of Digikam are installed-> which then is again for all users". This location is fine for e.g. the basic settings, "digikamRC" , so every user on the machine can have his/her own settings (fonts, other appearance, folders to include etc.), but those AI files correlate to the base installation and should go to "C:\Users\All Users" (or another selectable common location). EXPECTED RESULT see above SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Addendum: Sorry .. didn't scroll down far enough to see / correctit in the original post: - Observed on Windows 11 Pro, Version 24H2
This has already been fixed for digiKam-8.8.0; a directory for the facial engine files can be specified. digiKam-8.8.0 will be released this weekend. Download pre-release: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Maik
Thanks for the quick response, Mai. Couldn't find *that* in the existing bug reports or kde discussion. Will give it a try next week. Closing.
