Description Roberto 2020-11-09 16:24:00 UTC

SUMMARY
Implement possibility to export faces thumbnails (not the related images) when exporting to local media. Will allow to create a visual timeline of people's faces.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select "Tags" on the left
2. Select "Export" on the top
3. On "Target File behavior" I propose:
   3.1 Adding "Export faces thumbnail (not related images)"
   3.2 Thumbnail file names would be the same as related images (may be with added "THUMB" prefix) to disambiguate and allow for same sorting/filtering
   3.3 Format JPG (PGF is not easy to handle in Windows)
   3.3 Possibly copy tags and other metadata to the thumbnail image files

OBSERVED RESULT
Not possible to export face thumbnails without SQLLite knowledge

EXPECTED RESULT
Possibility to choose exporting thumbs rather than related images

Is there any progress on this? Would be nice to have this implemented.

Plus one!

Being able to select a set of thumbnails shown in the People section, or even a set of people, and then have the program export the face thumbnails in jpg or png format, would be great – users could then take the exported thumbnails and use them with the  Image Mosaic Wall feature to create a mosaic.

I know, it's not a bug...
Will there be any progress for this request in one of the next versions??

Yes, this feature would greatly help AI development as well

Comment 8 beneix 2025-10-31 08:13:53 UTC

Being able to export all or a selection of the face thumbnails for an identified person would open great possibilities for e.g. creating a collage. Would be great to have some feedback/view of the possibility this feature request can be considered soon...
