Attribute-formula hasvalue and novalue does not sum up to total files count

[axel.hennig]

All steps are important, because if e.g. step 3. is skipped, the bug does not appear. Same for step 6.

Steps to reproduce

• Set-up a new database.
• Import some testfiles (I've imported approx 330 jpg-files).
• Create new Attribute Set "Empty" (File).
• Create new Attribute Set "Test" (File).
• Within "Test" create new Attribute "Value" (Integer).
• Fill in some values in "Test.Value" for some files (only one entry per file) (I've enterend "1" in first jpg-file, "2" in second jpg-file and "3" in third jpg-file).
• Within Category-view, create two new categories:
  
  • Name "novalue"; Formula "@Attribute[Test.Value,novalue]"
  • Name "hasvalue"; Formula "@Attribute[Test.Value,hasvalue]"

The sum of the two categories "novalue" and "hasvalue" does not sum up to the total files in the database.

Doing the following does not solve the problem:

• Running Database Diagnostics.
• Closing and re-opening IMatch.
• Shutting-down and re-starting the Computer.

Probably this formula ignores files without an Attribute record?
This is to check if an attribute in a record has a value. If a file has no Attribute records, it is probably ignored.
Did you check that?

I've just entered and Attribute record for 3 files (see first post step 6.). In total there are 336 files in the DB. That means the "novalue / hasvalue" categories should show:

• 333 / 3 or
• 0 / 3 but definitely not
• 30 / 3

 Because these 30 files do not differ from all the other files (apart of the 3 files with Attribute record).

By the way: I've imported 336 times the same file just with different filenames, so also no difference here.

That's definitely not right. I shall investigate at the earliest opportunity I'll look into it!

Would it help if I provide you with the IMatch-DB (test-DB; approx. 30MB) containing above described behaviour?

[Mario]

I'll create a small test db with 10 files and an Attribute Set. I post more after I had time to test this.

I have fixed this for the next release, thanks.

[axel.hennig]

Out of curiosity, what was the problem?

[Mario]

Wrongly used BitVector operations in the QueryManager when processing the result of a nvalue query.
Basically | instead of &

Thanks for explaining and fixing.
