<p>Can someone help me with my question below? I've been trying to
make it work and I've made zero progress.</p>
<p>I tried deleting the similarity database and letting digikam
rebuild it. No change.<br>
</p>
<p>I tried turning on logging and looking for a clue. If "Restrict
to" is set to "Only Selected Tab", "One Of", or "Tags but not
albums", then clicking "Find duplicates" returns immediately and
produces these log lines:<br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-family:monospace"><span
style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;">digikam.geoiface:

<p><span style="font-family:monospace">If I select "Both" or "Albums
but not tags", then the operation will appear in the UI to run,
but stays stuck at 0% for a long time (tens of minutes) and
produces these log lines:</span></p>

I tried running from an AppImage. It runs the same.</span></p>

Should I be asking somewhere else?</span>

<p>I can no longer find duplicates using digikam.</p>
<p>I used to be able to find duplicates without a problem. But
now, when using the same workflow as always, the duplicate
list ALWAYS comes up empty. I've even tried copying one of
the images to create an exact duplicate and it can't even find
that.</p>
<p>I've tried using the latest Ubuntu package (which give
v7.5.0). the latest snap package (v7.6.0) and the latest
AppImage (v7.7.0). All behave the same way.</p>
<p>I'm not even sure how to troubleshoot this.</p>
<p>My workflow is:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>tag all the images that I want to check with a unique tag.</li>
<li>Go to the duplicate panel and clear all the album and tag
selections.</li>
<li>Select the unique tag from step 1.</li>
<li>Restrict to = "Only selected tab"</li>
<li>Similarity Range: 100% to 100% (I only want to find
identical duplicates)</li>
<li>Restriction: None</li>
<li>The I hit "Update Fingerprints", wait for completion</li>
<li>Then "Find Duplicates"</li>
</ul>
<p>This comes up empty.</p>
<p>If I set the similarity range to something wider, like 80% to
100%, then I get some hits of similar pictures, but none of
the -identical- pics come up in the list.</p>
<p>What is going on?</p>
