keep order for matches

[skyper]

I have a case where conflation should find better results. Seems to be a simple case as the subjects and the references are in inline order and this order should remain.

Thanks

This seems to be a problem with OneToOneFCMatchFinder. I just tried DisambiguatingFCMatchFinder, which gives better results, but has one wacky match, which throws off the results. I think I'll have to create a new FCMatchFinder which uses the assignment problem solution (e.g. Hungarian algorithm). I have an implementation I can reuse in utilsplugin2, but sometimes it gets stuck in an infinite loop, so until that problem is resolved try v0.1.4 with the somewhat better finder (though essentially useless for your particular case).

Something else that I could do is allow for marking some matches as invalid (rather than just removing them), and then re-running the matching process. If you have any suggestions as to how the UI should look for this let me know.

Replying to joshdoe:

In generell, I am not that convinced with the two windows (toggle dialogue and seperate configure window). I think one should be sufficient but maybe I need to use it more often first.

It is always nicer if the machine can do the work but an option to manual interact is useful in tricky situtations.
