[digiKam-users] either face recognition screen is buggy or I still don't understand it - at least I can say that more convenient bulk change of face tags (no auto refresh / set faces via context menu) is neccessary #V5.9.0 Windows Feb 27 2018

PackElend, I didn't report the bug you explained in your first post since I
didn't fully understand the problem. I think it should be better if you
wrote a bug report yourself.

And that's it. If all of these were solved, face detection and recognition
would be just perfect (apart from the matter of accuracy, of course).
