SOLVED Rescanning unknowns for face recognition

I have been scanning through my library for face recognition and for the most part I have seen decent results.

However, I am still sitting on about 15k so-called unknows.

When I go through them though I do find some new faces which I can tag with a name plus a few which should have been recognized before but which may have been only tagged in a later batch… so they could now potentially be recognized by the algorithm.

When I rescan though, I select all already scanned albums plus the tag unknown and run a re-scan. Digikam then says it scanned 1 picture… and is done… instead of scanning 15k. Not sure where I am going wrong…

Can someone clarify the exact procedure to re-scan previous unknowns?

Found the answer on my own… In scan settings I had “New images” on in the top selection box. Hence no scanning of existing images.
