There should be<br>an option to right click an album -> "Scan for faces" or similar. Right now,<br>you have to go to the "People" menu on the left -> "Scan for faces", expand<br>the "options" menu, and check those folders you want to explore (among<br>potentially hundreds of folders, which makes them quite difficult to find)<br><br>- Once the scan finishes, apparently nothing happened. It took me a while to<br>notice that there was an "Unknown" tag within "People" in the face list. I<br>think it should appear on top of the list, or in a distinct formatting or<br>section, so you don't have to scroll among lots of faces (I currently have<br>800-900 face tags) in order to find the "unknown" ones.<br><br>- By the way, a "tag" called "da" appeared within the "Unknown" person tag<br>and all unknown people appeared there. It is still there even when all<br>people have been correctly tagged. Is this normal/expected?<br><br>- Once you start tagging the unrecognized photos, if digikam thinks another<br>photo corresponds to the person you just tagged, it will assign that face to<br>that person's face tag, without telling you. That's ok, but in many cases<br>Digikam is not a 100% sure and makes a few false positives. The only way to<br>find them is going person by person and check if there are wrong faces<br>assigned to them. <br><br>- Related to the previous point, when browsing a specific person's face<br>tags, digikam will ask for confirmation for those tags which it is not sure<br>that they belong to that person. However, there's no possible way to<br>distinguish them from "confirmed" face tags unless you hover over it with<br>your mouse. There should be some distinctive formatting on those tags, so<br>you can see which ones are confirmed and which ones aren't. For instance,<br>Picasa places an orange mark on unconfirmed tags, places them at the end of<br>that person's face list, and includes a mark on the list of people so you<br>can see which persons have unconfirmed tags right away from the list.<br><br>- Also, as I mentioned in the post above. Some people end up as a<br>first-level list element, and some are placed inside a "People". I have no<br>idea what does it mean or why it is this way.<br><br>- Another possible improvement to the face recognition feature would be<br>grouping unknown faces. So if digikam doesn't know whose face it is, but it<br>is sure a group of 5 pictures correspond to the same person, they could<br>appear as a group so you only need to write their name once for all the<br>group.<br><br><br>Thanks for your time. Please, don't take these suggestions as a critic, but<br>as suggestions on how to improve usability. Even with these minor hiccups,<br>Digikam is one of the best photo managers out there and you're doing a great<br>work.<br><br><br><br>--<br>Sent from: http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digikam-users-f1735189.html<br></body></html>
