[digiKam-users] similarity search

[frederic chaume]

Hi all

last year I was trying to use the similarity search unsuccessfully  ,now 
I have just installed the DK6 beta3 and tested it again. good news, I'm 
starting to get some result (I don't if something has been fixed or if I 
wasn't patient enough).

now I have other questions (or request)

  * when launching the search , no information of progress is shown. we
    don't know if it started and when it completes. it could be good if
    the progress can be shown in the process bar at the bottom of the
    screen as any other execution (like adding a tag, searching new
    pictures,...)
  * I understood in DK6, there was a new database introduce for the
    search, but still don't see it. Is it normal? I got a mail last year
    from phil suggesting to create it manually, but I suppose or hope it
    can be automated at installation or in the settings/maintenance
  * I have selected hundreds of album in several collection for the
    search, but it seems that only the folder from the original picture
    is scanned
      o if I use the scaling from 70% and above, only the original
        picture is shown
      o when selecting 60% and below, more pictures are shown but seems
        from the original folder

let me know if I missed something , and if needed I can create a tciket 
in bugzilla


regards

frederic
