Person Shown tag

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Look at the Setup/Metadata/Behavior/Write this info... panel and
activate the option "Face Tags"

https://docs.digikam.org/en/setup_application/metadata_settings.html#behavior-settings

But as i can see in the dedicated code, only XMP/mwg and XMP/MP tags
are written in metadata, not XMP/iptcExt:

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/core/libs/metadataengine/dmetadata/dmetadata_faces.cpp?ref_type=heads

This means that code needs to be patched accordingly. Please report
this wish to digiKam bugzilla.

Best regards
