[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

Well, not really. In fact this is nothing done as plugin for face
management.

One piece of code which can be open as plugin is the recognition modules.
API is already designed to be modular, but not exported.

This can be done through this GSoC 2019 project :

https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2019/Ideas#Project:_AI_Face_Recognition_with_OpenCV_DNN_module

For all other problems listed here, in fact it's the Face management
workflow which need to be review again and improved. In the current
implementation, i separated well all the classes previously grouped as a
huge common implementation. This will help to maintain and improve face
management in the future...
