           Summary: streamlined workflow when managing face tags
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.5.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Face Management
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bugs.kde.org at yknott.cjb.net


Version:           2.5.0 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

Viewing a picture with several faces, manually adding face tags takes quite a
few clicks. The process could be tweaked a bit with what come across as small
changes:
 a) clicking 'add a face tag' changes to 'switch to add face tags mode'. now
one need not click 'add a face tag' for each face in the same image

 b) a box (for a face tag) is already placed either upon mouse click or
automatically in the center of the image. now the user needs only to move the
box to the face, resizing the box accordingly

 c) subsequent boxes can now be created merely by clicking. the initial box
size is that of the previously used box sized (likely i guess that faces in the
same picture would be approximately the same size)

 d) this may offer a 'manually tag faces' mode so that button would not need to
be clicked for each viewed photo

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
find two pictures with faces to tag; for example, a picture with three faces
then a picture with two faces

Actual Results:  
 1) click 'add a face tag'
 2) draw a box around the first face
 3) click 'add a face tag'
 4) draw a box around the second face
 5) click 'add a face tag'
 6) draw a box around the third face

 7) 'forward' to next picture

 8) click 'add a face tag'
 9) draw a box around the first face
10) click 'add a face tag'
11) draw a box around the second face

Expected Results:  
 1) click 'add a face tag' (which is either 'add face tags' or 'switch to face
tagging mode')

 2) click the first face; box is drawn automatically
 3) adjust box as needed

 4) click second face
 5) click third face

 6) 'forward' to next picture

 7) click first face
 8) click second face
