Description Alexandre Belz 2019-12-27 10:49:37 UTC

SUMMARY
in the People Area, Once a face is tagged to a person, there's no easy way to allocate it to another person.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Scan for faces
2. Tag a face
3. Go to People Area.
4. Observe the thumbnail ; 

OBSERVED RESULT
The name is displayed in read-only. No possibility to change the person name.

EXPECTED RESULT
As with automatic recognition & DNN there could be some mistakes, we need the possibility to reallocate a face to the right person. Could be done by 
- right click / change person tag
- move (drag & drop) the face thumbnail to the right person folder in the people tree.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10

Face recognition only makes a suggestion, the name can be changed without any problems. Only when you confirm the name will it be accepted.

Ok, 
so for strange reasons it seems i made a mistake on confirming some faces tagging.

Anyway, once a mistake is done, how to change the person name / allocation ?

Click on the face thumbnail to open the image in the preview. Click on the name label, you are in the edit mode again.

Ok, thank you Maik.

i hoped there was a possible correction method while staying in the people area, to save time and stay people-focused.

-> I've changed this ticket to WishList.

Best regards, and thank you so much for your work on digikam !

... hum, not sure if already configured this ticket  as wishlist... can't find where to check/modify... severity field is not displayed once the ticket is created ... maybe only admins can do.
Sorry for this hesitation. I'm still ramping up on Bugzilla.

Comment 6 Alexandre Belz 2020-01-01 11:04:47 UTC

@Maik, please can you requalify this ticket to wish list ?
else you can close this one and I'll open a dedicated wish ticket.

Leaving this here for future reference. I have implemented a function FaceTagsEditor::changeTag()(https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/gsoc20-facesengine-workflow/core/libs/database/tags/facetagseditor.cpp#L495), that can change the assigned Face Tag of a person.
All that's needed is to plug it into the GUI.
