Overview¶
Maintenance tools are processes that are run in the background to maintain image collections and the digiKam database.
Depending on your workflow, your digiKam settings, and whether you also work on your image collections with other programs, it might be necessary to run maintenance operations from time to time to update the digiKam databases. You may also want to run maintenance tools to Find Duplicate Items in your collections, Detect and recognize faces, or automatically assign quality labels using the Image Quality Sorter. The maintenance tool can do all these things, and more. It can even run multiple tools in one go, depending on your requirements.
The list of available maintenance tools is presented in a sequential order that cannot be changed. Only the selected tools in this list will be run during the maintenance operation, and they will be run in the order they are listed. The ordering of the tools is relevant when populating the information in the database for the first time, and how these tools operate in subsequent maintenance operations.
The available maintenance tools are:
Scan For New Items: scan for new albums (folders) and items in the collection directories to populate the database.
Perform Database Cleaning: scan the database for entries that no longer can be associated with albums and items.
Ricostruisci le miniature: analizza gli album per aggiornare le miniature degli elementi.
Ricalcola i codici di controllo: analizza gli album per aggiornare i codici di controllo degli elementi utilizzati nelle ricerche per Somiglianza.
Trova elementi duplicati: analizza gli album per aggiornare l’elenco degli elementi duplicati basati sui codici di controllo della Somiglianza.
Detect and Recognize Faces: perform automatic face management updates.
Auto-tags Assignment: scan items and add tags based on image content recognized by a neural network.
Ordinatore qualità delle immagini: esegue un’analisi automatica degli elementi per ordinarli in base alla qualità e applicare le etichette di scelta nella banca dati.
Sincronizza metadati e banca dati: esegue la sincronizzazione dei metadati degli elementi col contenuto della banca dati e viceversa.
