Reproducible with 2.5.0 Gilles Caulier I can't find a shortcut in 4.8.0 Is there any plan to add this feature? It would be incredibly useful when tagging lots of photos. Since some versions works CTRL + left mouse button to add a face. Maik @Maik Qualmann: Oh, that's great! I had no idea you could do that. Maybe I missed it in the documentation. It would be useful if there were an indication of that shortcut in the tooltip for the "Add a Face Tag" button. Maybe something like "Add a Face Tag (Ctrl + L Click)" jat255, If this solution is enough can we close this file ? Gilles Caulier Hi GIlles, It's suitable for me, but I didn't open the initial bug, so I can't speak for everyone. If it is not incredibly difficult, having the ability to use a keyboard shortcut to initiate the process would be helpful. I could picture a faster workflow where a keyboard shortcut initiates a face tag of predefined size at the current cursor position. That would eliminate the slowest part of the process, which is dragging the mouse to make the box a certain size. Usually in one group of photos (at least for me), most faces are about the same size, so this could certainly speed up the process. - Josh Hi GIlles, It's suitable for me, but I didn't open the initial bug, so I can't speak for everyone.

Hi, I suggest an easy fix to RESOLVE this 8 years old issue. As shown in the 4th comment the shortcut actually already exists - "Ctrl + draw a box". It is a very good shortcut, but unfortunately almost impossible to discover (like a secret key combination) and I also was convinced Face tagging in digiKam is terrible before learning about this shortcut. I suggest as a solution to change the tooltip text under the "Add a Face Tag" button to: "Add a Face Tag (or hold Ctrl + draw a face region)". This would make the shortcut more discoverable. In addition the shortcut is now mentioned in my new tutorial on digiKam wiki: https://userbase.kde.org/Digikam/Tutorials/Tagging_and_Face_Tags#Face_Tags_.E2.80.93_How_To And it is hidden somewhere in the documentation: https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/extragear-graphics/digikam/using-facetagging.html The tip already exists in the online documentation: https://docs.digikam.org/en/main_window/people_view.html#manual-face-tagging Gilles Caulier |
