The duplicates search feature was updated as well, offering an average similarity of the potentially duplicate images to the original in every result, allowing the user to sort them. Notable changes in digiKam 5.4.0 include performance improvements to the similarity search engine, better usability of the fuzzy sidebar functionality, which was contributed by Mario Frank, allowing the user to view more information and to display the precise similarity value to the original image or sketch, as column - an option that can be accessed from the "Item Properties" submenu of the column context menu.Īdditionally, it looks like it's now possible to drag and drop a photo from the local file system into the Fuzzy search, as well as to specify a similarity interval in both the fuzzy and duplicates search functionalities instead of the minimum similarity in case you want to eliminate the images that contain a similarity above the maximum threshold.

We've been waiting for it for so long, but the wait is now finally over, as the digiKam development team just announced a few moments ago the release and general availability of digiKam 5.4.0.Ī major release, digiKam 5.4.0 ships two months after the third point release in the digiKam 5 series, bringing a complete re-write of the video file support, as well as numerous other improvements across a multitude of components, and a nice collection of patches that should resolve many of those nasty issues you've been reporting lately.
