[digiKam-users] Import does not recognize existing images

[Nino]

Hi folks,

I was writing a small script that moves all duplicate images of my
Digikam database
to another folder:
https://github.com/ninok/digikam-utils/blob/main/move_duplicates.py

To double check that the script did the right thing, I was trying to
re-import the duplicates.
I was expecting that the import will mark none of the images as new, but
instead all of the images are marked as new.

I wrote another script that checks if there is a copy of each duplicate and
it works as expected:
https://github.com/ninok/digikam-utils/blob/main/safe_remove_duplicates.py

Am I doing sth. wrong? How can I prevent import to import images that are
already in the database?

Best regards,
Nino
