Bug ID: 512206
Summary: Matching category items in import with filters
Classification: Applications
Product: kphotoalbum
Version First GIT master
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Import/Export
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When importing a kim file you first match the exported categories to those in
the current database: e.g. "Places" might be matched to "Ort" or "Location",
which is OK. This report is concerned with the next step:
Then the single entries in each category are matched to existing entries in the
current database or new entries are created. This matching process could/should
be improved by a filter.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start the import process until you arrive at the entries for a category (eg.
"People")
2. a possibly longish list appears with names in the import file and names in
the current database
OBSERVED RESULT
3. Most names match 1:1 but it is not obvious, whether a name gets added to the
database or it matches an existing name.
4. Some of the names are matched to different values - often incorrectly.
EXPECTED RESULT
* Exact 1:1 matches to *existing* names should be unlisted by default (with the
option to make them visible). These names do not need any action.
* Names with an approximate match need special attention and should be
highlighted. Example 1 below.
* Names with no match will be created in the current database. Those should be
listed as well, but there should be an option to filter them out as they rarely
need any interaction (but sometimes they do). Example 2 below.
Example 1:
*.kim -> current database
John Doe -> John
"John" could be the son and "John Doe" could be the teacher, so the name must
be corrected
Example 2 (importing a file, my son made for me):
*.kim -> current database
Mother > Mother
"Mother" should be "Johanna" in my database
