<div style="line-break:after-white-space">Hi Robert,
<div>It looks like the face database isn’t trained. I see digiKam detected over 4700 faces, but it couldn’t match those faces to a name. This is typically because the face database isn’t trained.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Did you go to Tools->Maintenance->Detect and Recognize Faces and check rebuild all training data.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, you do have some of the faces tagged with names, yes?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>

<div>Hi Robert,
<div>The problem is the face DB is failing the upgrade step. The easiest option is close digiKam, and then find a database file called recognition.db and delete it. If you go to Settings->Database you should see the directory name that contains recognition.db.
When you restart digiKam, it should create an empty recognition.db in the correct format. Then in digiKam go to Tools->Maintenance->Detect and Recognize Faces, and rebuild all training data.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You shouldn’t lose any face data be deleting the recognition.db because all the data will be rebuilt from digikam4.db.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>

<div>The first two lines don’t appear in my MacOS or Linux runs. Gilles or Maik, do you have any ideas?</div>

</div>
<div>The ExifTool line is concerning if you have use ExifTool enabled for reading/writing metadata.</div>
