Hello Daria. Thank you for your answer, and apologies for my late reply. I have noticed improvements in the past, when I tried Face Recognition again. It seems to work better, at least the list is getting shorter when assigning names to the list of photos. Daminion is 10.0.0 (Build 3652) / FR is 2.0.0.924 So I guess this issue can be closed - your constant support always very much appreciated. One thing that hasn't really changed for me, in terms of UI design : While confirming yes/no to suggested faces and names, there is a button at the bottom which is 'Load more...', which is fine. But I haven't grasped how to find out how long the complete list will be / how many more faces/names will have to be confirmed until the list is empty. A total amount of items in the list of tab 'Unnamed faces' would be nice, just to know if it'll be 50 or 5000 entries to confirm suggested names for faces. The basic 'paging' UI pattern (Page 1 of 10 / 20 items per page) would also work here I think - unless technical reasons prohibit. Thanks Daria!

Hello, a question for discussion: How should the information "Imported from" be understood? Example: 1. a photo was imported on 20.5.2025 by user xyz 2. on 25.6.2025 the same photo was adjusted by the action “Open with...” in an external program. For example, the tonal values were changed, but no other changes were made. Then the external program saved the photo under the same name and overwrote it. 3. the “Read tags from file” action updated the photo/data in the catalog. 4. the original import date 20.5.2025 was not changed by the “read tags from file” action, although it is a “different photo” due to the external change. The photo file naturally has different timestamps in the file data (last change etc.) due to the external change Hence my question: does the action "read tags from file" have to recognize the external change and set a new import date - in this case 25.6.2025, because the photo is no longer the same as on 20.6.2025? regards, Uwe

Hello, every now and then the Linking Panel does not open. The cause is a change in the Settings.xml. There, for whatever reason, by whom? and unpredictable, the value "visible" is set from “true” to “false”. Please Daminion: find the cause and fix the error. It should not become the rule that I then have to make the adjustment manually every time. Regards, Uwe <bar name="linkedItemsBar" dockline="0" layout="2" dockoffset="0" state="1" dockside="0" fpos="6587,42,626,1277" visible="true"> <items> <item name="dockContainerItem8" origBar="" origPos="-1" pos="0" /> </items> </bar> PS. if the error has occurred, the parameter is also present in "item name": visible="false"

not fixed in build 3718

Thank you again, it works...

Export to CSV is a god idea, thank you. Will try, have never did before 🙂

try this: create a user-specific tag (decimal number). then, as described by Juha, export the values to a csv file, calculate the ratio and enter this value in the column of the user tag of the csv file. Import this csv file. you will then see the value in the tags panel under the name of the user tag. if you prefer other display formats than decimal numbers, e.g. 4:3, then you can also create the user tag as text and fill the column in the CSV file accordingly

I cannot recall any direct way. One way I can think of is to make a CSV export and open the file in Excel. Then you could add another column with a formula =IF(width>height;width/height;height/width) Note that there might be minor rounding errors, so e.g. for 4:3, it would be good to check ratios between 1.30 and 1.35. Juha

I would like to select photos with different aspect ratio, for example 16:9 (which is actually 1.778) or 4:3 (which is actually 1.333), disregarding the orientation and resolution Are there any capability to search based on aspect ratio (more than, less than, equal), or anything similar? Cannot find...

Sorry, but once again I can't open the link panel on the second screen. I had made a copy of the folder 1.0 after I had set everything up again after the first occurrence. I copied the files Settings.xml and CatalogStore.xml from it. I don't know what potential problems this could cause, but it can't be like this. And deleting the 1.0 folder again and making all the settings manually is not a solution for me. So please fix the error “immediately”.

Hi Denis, We've made improvements in v 2.0 of Face Recognition. Please let me know your Daminion server version and FR version.

Has this been fixed ? I still have that issue, showed up right at the first version of face recognition (which detects faces really well!), and still persists for me. How can I reset/clear/restart face recognition process, hoping that will fix it ? I found a database query in this forum to clear all relevant postgres data, but that query is marked as deprecated. Any advise ?

Hello, a proposed solution from Daminion: you can try to delete all client settings by deleting the folder c:\Users\xyz\AppData\Roaming\Daminion Software\Daminion\1.0 First make a backup of the folder! This has worked, the linking panel can be moved back to the second screen. BUT: all settings, such as metadata presets, Open with... entries, thumbnail captions etc. are also gone and have to be restored manually. Depending on how individual the settings are, this can take some time. In my opinion, the suggestion is only an “emergency aid”. The cause of the error must be eliminated. Greetings, Uwe

not fixed in build 3684

Hello Juha, I had forgotten about that. I also had the linking window on the second screen. Resetting the display menu did not help either. The problem does not exist with the Daminion client on the laptop. However, there is also no option for a second screen there. Daminion team: please suggest a solution! regards, Uwe

Hi Uwe, Have you tried the menu choose to reset the window positions. I'm not currently on my PC, so I cannot check the exact name of the menu choice. Juha

Hello. I now have the same problem in version 3684 - with the Linking window. The Linking window was previously on the second screen, where I closed it yesterday and shut down both Daminion and the Windows system. Today I want to open the Linking window on the second screen again - I can't. It looks to me as if it is preventing the Linking window from being opened on the second screen. Where in the settings files is the window position stored so that I can possibly correct it manually? regards, Uwe

Hello, the funktion Menu->Window-Linking doesn't work in build 3698. I had to go back to 3684! The Linking window doesn't appear when the entry is marked. Regards, Uwe

Hello, Why is a different lens tag read depending on the media format? Example: CR2 - LensType from the Maker Notes is read: Lens Type Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM instead of EXIF:LensModel: Lens Model EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM The TIF photo was developed from the CR2. EXIF:LensModel: Lens Model EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM The result: different lens tags for the same lens! Greetings, Uwe

build 3698 Hello, something has changed - I just don't know how. in my standard catalogue (netcatalog, files on NAS, catalogue, thumbnail on internal SSD) the content of the field cameravendor_table-isapprovd is differently assigned with "true" or "false". In my later created test catalogue (netcatalog3, files on internal hard disk, catalogue, thumbnails on internal SSD) all entries of cameravendor_table-isapprovd=true. Therefore, I can now move and merge the previously incorrect sub-entries of cameras that already exist under a main entry without having to make the above-mentioned update in pgAdmin. Can I manually set all entries in the standard catalogue to ‘true’ for cameravendor_table-isapprovd=false? Regards, Uwe

Hello, here is an example (build 3698). All files in the folder of a photo book are displayed. The last line of the thumbnail should show the person tag. No persons are displayed in the second line of the screenshot. This is correct, because these files do not have a person tag yet. However, these files are not displayed when I go to Catalogue Panel->People->unasigned to display all files without a person tag. The bat file attached in the post above with the PostgreSQL query finds these files that Daminion does not find. What is going wrong here? regards, Uwe

Hi Rupert, This is the updated functionality in the new version. If you still need to sort the whole catalog, please expand the folders tag, select the top folder and the sort will be available again. Unfortunately, the flag cannot be added now, but we can consider it for the future

Ok, I just tested it with a query that selects all my photos (60k) and the sorting takes less than a second. So can you please add a flag or something, where people with strong computers or small databases can re-activate the sort for all pictures? THX, Rupert

Yes. The output txt file is not created. I will check it put later after the scheduled sessions are done

Hi Daria, I used FR as a test some time ago, but then uninstalled it and it hasn't been active for a long time. I deleted the ‘old FR entries’ from the database following your instructions. Have you tried my batch file on your system? Greetings, Uwe
