[Bug 286452] New: No way to scan untagged photos for faces, or scan ALL folders

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286452

           Summary: No way to scan untagged photos for faces, or scan ALL
                    folders
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.3.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Usability
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           2.3.0 (using KDE 4.7.3)
OS:                Linux

You have to select one or more folders AND tags in the "scan collection for
faces" dialog. There is no way to select "all photos in the folder" or
"untagged". So, if you haven't tagged your photo with anything there's no way
to ask digikam to scan it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See details.

Actual Results:  
No photos are scanned.

Expected Results:  
All photos in the album selected should be scanned if you have not chosen any
tags to scan.

There is no conjunction between the chosen albums or tags. The implementation
is the simplest possible: All checked albums or tags are put in a list and
scanned one after the other. If you check no album and no tag, all albums will
be scanned. Really, it's four lines of code.
There must be some other reason; maybe the photos are flagged as already
scanned?

Well, I figured the code must be like that, I was bit surprised by this bug
too. There is a different underlying cause I think.

Now I have tested that the face scanning itself is working by tagging
everything in an album with the same tag, selected that album AND that tag, and
letting it scan. That worked.

Now guess what - if I unselect everything so it's back to Any Album / Any Tag -
it's now scanning away, in all the other albums, no problem. So it seems to be
an issue with first use?

I won't be able to reproduce that without building another Linux install
however... if someone has a test machine around can they just try this theory?

It wasn't an issue with them already being scanned because the rescan option
also had the same problem.

For me i cannot reproduce the dysfunction described here using last digiKam
4.2.0.

Please give us a fresh feedback using last stable release.

Or perhaps i don't understand the obscur explanations given here...
