Deleting duplicate photo's still show up?

Sjoerd-2

I deleted a lot of duplicate photo's (outside DigiKam with dupeguru) and let DigiKam rescan/regenerate all of my thumbnails and fingerprints. Finaly I let DigiKam search for duplicates again. DigiKam still shows all the duplicates that are defenitely gone from disk.

 

I tried a "cleanup_digikamdb -t" but that doesn't make any difference.

 

Any idea how to clean up my databases so it matches my filesystem again (without starting over from scratch)?

 

I am using Kubuntu 14.10 and Digikam 4.11.0 from philips ppa

 

Cheers,

Sjoerd

Hi Sjoerd,

I let digiKam write all necessary metadata into the image files.
And once a year I move away the old digiKam database and let digiKam create a
fresh new one, based on the image's metafiles.

This, of course, depends, what one considers "necessary metadata", since not
every metadata can be stored in images, I guess. In my case, I want "tags",
"captions" and "star rating", which can be written to image files very well.

In an additional paranoia level, I take screenshots of the old tag tree, with
all tag counters visible and compare those against the new tag counters. Same
for "star rating".

Regards,
        Peter

Hi Peter,

 

Yeah that might be the best clean-up ;)
