[digiKam-users] Using the Image Quality Sorter

[James Orr]

It seems odd to me that the image quality marking feature is located
under Maintenance--seems odd to me. Anyway ...

I wanted to be sure that I understand this feature, so I went to the
Tools|Maintenance window and cleared all the selections except for using
multiple cores and using the Image Quality Sorter (skip images already
scanned).  Then I selected one folder with 99 Canon CR2 raw images, and
two subfolders with TIF images: one with 33 HDR images and the other
with 2 edited images.

I left all of the default options checked under settings.

It took hours and several restarts to get through all the images.

None of the Canon RAW images were marked in any way. The others were.

Is this tool designed to skip Canon RAW images?
Is this the level of performance I should expect when using the Image
Quality Sorter?

Well, it seems I was too much in a hurry, and that I misunderstood something in the Tools|Maintenance dialogue box.

I thought when I was in the Process items from: part of the page, I could select one folder and have DK act only on it (and maybe its children).
I thought this because I had cleared the box for whole albums collection.

I just started to browse my collection and it appears that almost all of the images in my Pictures folder have been examined. Although I have not inventoried each folder, I did find 3-4 where the CR2 files had not been marked, though the images in the child folders had been marked.

This does seem odd.

Is this worth Bugzilla?

If you want to select children's albums too, they must also be marked. Use the
right context menu. What sometimes leads to a problem is the selection of
tags.Check if they have not selected tags.

Ok, the problem is clear now. We have a problem with searching in the DB for
unassigned labels. If a "No Pick Label" is assigned, the image is also found,
but a non-existent pick label entry in the table must also be considered a "No
Pick Label". The left sidebar is also affected. I will fix it.
