[Digikam-users] Digikam Face Detection does not work for me

Thu Jul 17 17:34:33 BST 2014

Yeah, thank you for your ongoing support. I managed to have it run face 
detection properly by doing the following steps: (Debian Sid)

1.    Download the following repository and install it to 
/home/$YOURUSERNAME/.kde/share/apps/

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/libs/libkface/repository/revisions/master/show/data

2. Create a haarcascades folder within the new 
/home/YOURUSERNAME/.kde/share/apps/libkface      so that you will get

     /home/YOURUSERNAME/.kde/share/apps/libkface/haarcascades/

The folder will be EMPTY.

3. Copy all files from
      /home/YOURUSERNAME/.kde/share/apps/libkface/data    to
/home/YOURUSERNAME/.kde/share/apps/libkface/haarcascades/ folder, data 
should contain the necessary .XML files.

At least it worked this way for me. It was a bit cumbersome since I 
copied every single file via terminal because I have no idea how to copy 
files into folders which my user has no write access to, but at least it 
worked after that.

Thanks again for the help, much appreciated!
