<p>It would also help if there were a generalized ability to undo
recent changes of the sort described below, or if that's not
tenable, at least a viewable log of recently performed operations
and which photos they were performed on, so that if you "lose" a
photo after doing something to it you can find it again.<br>

<p>Today while doing a lot of face-tagging I've encountered
several problematic user stories in digiKam which I thought I
would share in the hope that improvements can be made.</p>
<p>1) I was looking at unconfirmed faces for the people in one of
my albums, and I accidentally clicked the minus ("reject this
suggestion") instead of the checkmark ("accept this suggestion")
for one of them. The photo immediately disappeared from the
thumbnails of unconfirmed photos, as it should. But here's the
thing... I can't find any way to undo this. I have no idea where
the photo went or how to find it.</p>
<p>When I do something to a photo by accident which <i>modifies</i>
the photo, then as a workaround I can run a "find" on my
pictures directory to look for recently modified photos and then
search for the file name of the photo I want to get it back. But
rejecting a face suggestion doesn't modify the photo, it just
modifies the database, so I can't use that workaround. Basically
that face is now in limbo: I know who it is, but I don't know
how to find the photo in digiKam so I can tag it. I have
thousands of unconfirmed and unknown faces, so it's not a simple
matter.<br>
</p>
<p>2) Again reviewing suggested people, I double-click on a photo
to switch to preview mode to get a closer look to figure out
whether it is indeed the suggested person. It turns out it's
not, but there are several people in the photo and I know who
they are, so I start tagging them. Part-way through that I get
to the person who was suggested, and I tag them with the correct
person's name (not the suggestion), and the photo immediately
disappears. I'm going to argue that once I've opened a photo in
preview mode it shouldn't disappear even when it's no longer in
the collection I opened it from. It shouldn't go away until you
switch back to thumbnail mode.<br>
</p>
<p>3) I encountered a photo with a suggested face which was
rotated incorrectly. The suggestion was correct. I opened the
photo in preview mode and rotated it, but then the face regions
weren't right so I told it to clear the faces so I could rescan
for and rerecognize faces. As above, the photo immediately
disappeared. Solution is same as above: a photo shouldn't
disappear in preview mode just because it's no longer in the
collection it was opened from.</p>
<p>4) digiKam suggests a face tag for someone which is incorrect,
and in fact the suggested person is a different person in the
same photo. With that photo thumbnail selected, if you click the
minus to reject the suggestion, the photo moves from where it
was in the suggested section to the confirmed section for the
same person, and your scrolling jumps with it. I don't think you
should scroll like that; I think either the photo should be
unselected when it moves, or the selection should move to the
next photo in the suggested photos section.</p>
