Uwe Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hello, there are 143845 items in the database. Of these, 142355 are duplicates and 142563 are similar photos. Without a detailed analysis, I would like to claim that these numbers cannot be correct. What is a "similar photo"? What criteria must be met to be similar? The same question arises with "duplicates", except that here, in my view, each media format must be considered separately. A duplicate music file, criteria could be the ID3 metadata (artist, title, format, year of recording, composer), should be determined differently than duplicate word documents or photos. When is a photo duplicate? When it is also similar? Is a JPG photo that was also developed in RAW format similar or duplicate? Questions about questions and a request for an answer. Kind regards, Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hi Uwe, It seems that hashes have been read incorrectly for the files. Please let me know what happens if you update the thumbnails of a set of files recognized as duplicates? Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uwe Posted May 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hello Daria, that seems to be the cause, because when I update the thumbnails, both the duplicates and the similar photos decrease. But I can't update all the thumbnails just to make the numbers fit - what is the solution? Regards, Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hello Uwe, Unfortunately, this is the only solution for now. You can run the process over the weekend and the thumbs will be updated. Are you using auto-rescan? @Oleg.Ross please check this with the team - incorrect hashes and the interconnection with auto-rescan Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe Posted May 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 Hello, the update is running since two days. About half is achieved. I propose that the action "update thumbnail", when a certain number of items are to be updated, be implemented as a background process. At the moment, a client is totally blocked by this. Regards, Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe Posted May 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Hello after five days, I canceled the "update thumbnail" action. However, this only worked if I canceled the client using the task manager. The result: Total number of items: 143866 Number of duplicates: 143543 Number of similar: 143607 What should I do with this, except the fact that the client was blocked for five days?

Daria Kotilainen Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Hello Uwe, We have fixed the issue that prompted the hashes to be read incorrectly, so after the installation of the new build this issue won't happen again. However, the only way to fix the already created duplicates will be to regenerate thumbnails. You can give it another try after the installation of the new build. Kind regards, Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uwe Posted May 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Hi Daria, thank you for the new build. I can't install the Face Recognition. .NET Error - Version 5.0.9 cannot be installed because a newer version of .net is already installed.

gelkins Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 What is the easiest way to Update Thumbnails for the whole DB (+/-45,000 images)? I started doing it in small pieces of +/- 1000 images at a time, but then I noticed that Ctrl+A omits Grouped images so I was missing some. I tried Expand Group function, but with 1000 images selected, it is slow and generally crashes before it scans all the selected images. Is there another comprehensive way to select and Update Thumbnails for the entire DB? It is okay if I need to let it run for a few days. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 Hi Geordie, We can trigger the thumbnail upgrade in the background, but could you please tell me why this is needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
