           Summary: Suggested improvements of Face Tagging
           Product: digikam

                OS: Linux

Hello,

Right now manual face tagging workflow looks like this:
- Click on "Add Face Tag" button (mouse)
- Draw a face region (mouse)
- Entry field shows up right after you released the mouse button. The field
already has "Unknown" in it and it allows you to start typing a name. After you
start typing a drop down list pops up and the search results narrow down while
you typing.

The issue is that the last step requires keyboard entry. There is a button on
the right side of the entry field that you can click on but that drop down
window, first, seem to have an inconsistent size (try to open and close it few
times) and, second, clicking on a name in that list does not do anything (try
it).
Since we use mouse for first two steps it would be nice to be able to finish
the last step using the mouse too. We would need the window with names from
people sidebar to drop down automaticaly right after you finished drawing the
face region and released the button. The size of that window should depend on
the length of the list or at least be no shorter than 5-7 lines. Also, recently
used names should show up on top of the list.

What do you think?
