--- Comment #10 from l...@gmx.de --- I use Sqlite database. I can reproduce the problem. Steps: - Created a new user account - Prepared a data set of ~58000 pictures. Stripped all metadata [exiftool -r -overwrite_original -P -all= DIR], as they contained face tags and regions - Started digikam (digikam-5.5.0-01-x86-64.appimage from 27.2.2017, Revision 7e3182fb6562c8bc01d689dcce9b99c7215b2ae9) - Run face detection with vanilla settings -- around 28000 faces were detected - In the 'unknown' tag, I selected groups of images (ignoring whether they were actual faces or faces from different persons) and assigned them to different 'persons'. Current status: 'Person A' ~ 10.000 tags 'Person B' ~ 10.000 tags 'Person C' ~ 4.500 tags 7 other persons with 20 to 400 tags - Now, selecting more images and assigning them to a person resulted in a forced kill by the kernel due to memory exhaustion. recognition.db is ~219MB The system has 8GB RAM, and no swap. My normal working set of usually running programs is ~1 GB RAM. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
