Regarding Implementation for Ignored Faces

[Maik Qualmann]

Hmm, assigning a region to be deleted to a tag is probably not so good. I 
don't think users want this region anymore. Use a database browser to look at 
the "ImageTagProperties" how regions are saved. we need a "dummy" here. This 
"dummy" is not written in metadata and is not displayed as a region on images, 
but is used as an existing face in face detection. When deleting all regions 
on the images, the "dummy" is also deleted so that a new assignment is 
possible. Just an idea...
