SUMMARY

I have a terrible name memory. So when tagging faces I frequently like to be able to preview "the other" face rectangles that belong to a tag, to be sure I am tagging correctly. Currently this makes me jump between "Faces" and "Albums" view all the time which is cumbersome, I have another idea.

I made a mockup in an attachment.

I can imagine this as a popup which appears when hovering over a name in the face tag selection list for >2 seconds, which displays the N most recent faces which have the same tag. (e.g. 8, see mockup). Nothing else needs to be displayed, just the thumbnails - no ratings or filenames etc.


After selecting a face tag, I'd like to have a way of quickly going to this *face* (not to the tag), i.e. seeing all faces tagged with the same tag. I can right-click > "Go To" > Tag > ..., but this is not the face, and it is not as quickly done.
