I mean the little block that moves from left to right while scanning, it never 
stops and thus mediates that there is still something in progress.

With libkface Rev: 1196626 and digikam  Rev: 1197834 clicking on the name in 
the preview does still not do anything. Also now the tag view shows the whole 
thumbnails instead of just the bit of the picture the face is on. If there are 
two faces on a picture the "who is this" gui appears when hovering that 
picture in the tag view (unknown people) yet since the whole picture is shown 
one does not know which face the tag is assigned to.

Is it ok to assign tags to unknown faces while the scanning is still in 
progress?
