[digiKam-users] face tagging persistently ignore a face

[Marc Palaus]

I believe I just went to the Tag panel, selected all the pictures under 
the "Ignored" tag and removed the tag from there. I think it shouldn't 
affect the "Ignored" classification in the face tags, but I did that a 
few months ago and I don't remember exactly what I did. But I definitely 
didn't use any external tool. Maybe you could try with just a few 
pictures and see if they still appear under the "Ignored" category in faces?
