[digiKam-users] Fwd: Using the Image Quality Sorter

[James Orr]

Well, it seems I was too much in a hurry, and that I misunderstood 
something in the Tools|Maintenance dialogue box.

I thought when I was in the Process items from: part of the page, I 
could select one folder and have DK act only on it (and maybe its children).
I thought this because I had cleared the box for whole albums collection.

I just started to browse my collection and it appears that almost all of 
the images in my Pictures folder have been examined. Although I have not 
inventoried each folder, I did find 3-4 where the CR2 files had not been 
marked, though the images in the child folders had been marked.

This does seem odd.

Is this worth Bugzilla?

It seems odd to me that the image quality marking feature is located 
under Maintenance--seems odd to me. Anyway ...

I wanted to be sure that I understand this feature, so I went to the 
Tools|Maintenance window and cleared all the selections except for using 
multiple cores and using the Image Quality Sorter (skip images already 
scanned).  Then I selected one folder with 99 Canon CR2 raw images, and 
two subfolders with TIF images: one with 33 HDR images and the other 
with 2 edited images.

I left all of the default options checked under settings.

It took hours and several restarts to get through all the images.

None of the Canon RAW images were marked in any way. The others were.

Is this tool designed to skip Canon RAW images?
Is this the level of performance I should expect when using the Image 
Quality Sorter?
