<p>This is a gross thing for MS to do.</p>
<p>Someone ought to stick it to MS for doing proprietary garbage
like this by writing a tool which reads the contents of the SQLite
database and writes the face tags into photos if they aren't
already there.</p>

<div dir="ltr">The drawback with using the current version of
Microsoft Photos is that it does not read/write the face region
metadata back to the file as Windows Photo Gallery did (using
the MS People XMP Schema) and Picasa (Experimental MWG Face
Region XMP Schema). Digikam supports reading/writing both (MS
People/MWG Face Regions).

<div>Microsoft Photos face detection/recognition is pretty good,
the drawback again is all the effort you put into grouping the
faces is kept in a local sqlite database. </div>

<p>Microsoft Photos does an ok job at grouping faces
together that it perceives are the same. It just
lacks the flexibility and other options DIGI has.<br>
<br>
Right now I am sorting through a 2 TB hard drive
and having Digikam pull out all the faces. I bet
at the end I will have over 2,000 photos. Out of
that 900 will be ones I care about.<br>
<br>
Is there a way to ask digicam to sort the photos
like Microsoft photo does? Or with Digi I must
simply tag them?</p>
