Something that has given me a good amount of grief tracking down the problem is that I don't always want to use "sort" in the extract process and instead want to go straight to the manual tool without outputting faces to a folder first (too much unnecessary writing and deleting will eventually kill a SSD).
This mostly affects me when I go to regenerate masks after using the manual tool and select the source photos instead of any extracted faces as the input.
(The program does give me this option which is why I figured that 'cleaning the alignments file' would work for both extracted faces as well as source photos--nope-- this was partially the source of the grief tracking down the problem. I also originally thought that running the manual tool after deleting a photo / face would automatically clean the alignments file--also no.)
For videos, this is not an issue. However, when photos are the original source and I see that a photo just won't work in the manual tool, I want to delete it so its not around for any future use.
The extract guide gives a way to 'clean the alignments file' after deleting extracted faces, but no way to fix the alignments file after deleting source photos.
If you do delete a source photo, the alignments file will be totally messed up and you basically have to start from extract.
Is there a way to delete original source photos and update the alignments file or am I stuck not messing with the original photos without extracting again?
