           Summary: Face detection does nothing in digiKam 2.3.0 windows 7
                    using the "official" installer
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.3.0
          Platform: MS Windows
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Face Detection
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: blacksmith_john_50 at yahoo.co.jp


Version:           2.3.0
OS:                MS Windows

I upgraded digiKam from version 2.0.0r2 because face detection did not work. I
used the Windows installer advertise here:

http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/632

(The URL is:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/digikam/files/digikam/2.3.0/digiKam-installer-2.3.0-win32.exe/download)

This installed to C:/Program Files/digiKam/

When I click on the Face detection tag and the "Scan collection for faces" and
then "Scan" I receive a window that says it is detecting faces, it completes
almost instantly and says it is finished. No faces are detected.

I have almost 20,000 photos, thumbnailing and fingerprinting these took a long
time (about half and hour each). I do not believe the face detection is even
trying to find faces and fails before it has started.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I have tried this with every setting in the Scan window with exactly the same
results (except the time is longer when I ask it to "Clear and rebuild all
training data").

Actual Results:  
No face detections.

Expected Results:  
Approximately 40,000 face detections based on the results of another face
detection program that I would like to transfer from to digiKam.

I can provide any information you ask for in relation to this bug but I do not
know where to start so I will give you some things that might be relevant.
Please ask me for anything that might help you.

I am running Windows 7 Starter Service Pack 1.
I used the 2.3.0 Windows installer for digiKam 2.3.0.
It installed to C:/Program Files/digiKam

The icons in the Windows menu pointed to C:/Program Files/digiKam/kde4, I tried
using the installation where it was and then moved it to C:/Program
Files/digiKam/kde4 but this also did not work (I did this in case there were
hard coded directories... I don't know where else to try putting it if this is
the problem).

If this is still the ioslaves problem (I don't understand how it can be with an
all inclusive installation package) please direct me to where I can find
updated files to replace the ones that came with the installation package.

If you would like me to reinstall from scratch please tell me all the folders I
should delete to completely remove the old installation after I have used the
uninstall program (I'm aware that some are sometimes left even after use of
uninstall programs).
