I just rebuilt all training data for face recognition. Is there a possibility to rescan all images that have the “ignore” tag?

I don’t think RawTherapee has facial recognition. which program are you talking about?
Probably digikam?
Oh sorry, yes, it’s digiKam.
Hi @kaha,
Can you tell me what you are trying to accomplish?
Faces with the Ignored tag aren’t included when training the face database. They are, well, ignored. Are you trying to scan the ignored faces to see if there is a match?
Cheers,

Right, Mike, that’s my intention. I have ~200,000 photos in my albums and have tagged over 70,000 detected faces as ignored.
I know I probably made mistakes and want to check if digiKam finds some known faces among the ignored ones.
Hi Karl,
By design, digiKam won’t scan “Ignored” faces. To rescan them, you have to move them back to Unknown from Ignored.
Just an idea, but you might want to create a custom tag, somthine like “Temp Ignored”, and apply it to all the ignored faces before you move them back to Unknown. After you rescan, you can filter the Unknown view in the left people sidebar for your custom tag to easily move any previously ignored faces back to Ignored. Once the images are moved back to Ignored, I suggest you delete the custom tag, which will remove it from all the Ignored faces as well as any new matches.
Cheers,
Mike
Thank you Mike, I will follow your advice!
Best,
Karl
The key point is to filter the “Unknown” people view with your custom tag after you run face recognition. If you use any other view it will include the newly tagged images, which means you’ll move both Unknown and new tagged images back to Ignored.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Mike
