Hello Simon,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the suggestions and explanation!<br>
I'll use exiv2 for now because my client uses PersonInImage in their
image database. But of course I hope Digikam will let me add this
tag in the future.<br>

*try again, with minor changes*
<br>
<br>
Your original request centred around the IPTC 'PersonInImage' tag.
At present DigiKam does not allow this IPTC 'PersonInImage'tag to
be changed, although if the value is set using other tools you can
see the value in the metadata section of the right panel.
<br>
<br>
What Erik is describing is an alternative approach used by many on
this
<br>
list -- the use of Keyword Tags to flag who is in the picture.
<br>
<br>
Essentially you can create a Keyword Tag for each unique entity
and check these Keyword Tags if the person is seen in the picture
(see manual on how to create tags). These Keyword Tags can also be
easily used to filter your collection to show, say all photos with
your Mum in it.
<br>
<br>
If you are hung up on using the IPTC 'PersonInImage' tag you may
wish to look at exiv2 on linux or exiftools on Windows/Mac. These
tools/libraries are able to set this value. All you would need to
do is set the value using a script of sorts depending on your
operating system.
<br>
<br>
exiv2 -- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.exiv2.org/">http://www.exiv2.org/</a>
<br>
exiftools -- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/">http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/</a>
<br>
<br>
According to exiv2 manpage the value PersonInImage can be set
using the
<br>
following command (I check this worked on Ubuntu)...
<br>
<br>
exiv2 -M"add Xmp.iptcExt.PersonInImage Mr Periwinkle" image.jpg
<br>
<br>
You will need to check with the packages you normally use whether
this is going where you/they expect. When I inspect this image in
digiKam the inserted value is in the "IPTC Extension schema" where
the standard says it should be -- as stated although showing the
value inserted I can not edit the data with digiKam.

I hope this helps.

'and find or add the people section...' Adding a people's
section? How
<br>
do I do that? And is that exactly the same as the IPTC
Extension
<br>
'PersonInImage'?

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I installed the kipi

can see the

<br>
can't find it in the metadata window so I can use
this field.

Unless I can find it, I'm forced to use Lightroom
for a while
