Version: 2.0.0 (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux As I'm playing with the new feature, I have some suggestions to improve usability. Of course I understand the feature is new, doesn't yet work optimally, etc. First a list of problems I see, which may need (and suggest) solutions. - Face detection doesn't seem to appear or be active anywhere else but in the People tab. - It seems impossible to select multiple unknown faces and identify them at once - The last typed name for identification is filled in automatically, this can be handy, but only if you realise this is happening. - I have 1781 unknown faces left, it is a lot! - it would be easier to tag if similar faces are grouped together. A way face detection could be more visible outside the people tab: - In any view, inside a photo with faces, show a balloon when hovering over a face with some options: - this is not a face - this is (suggested/select)'s face Reproducible: Didn't try Expected Results: easier face detection use.

Just select all of them and confirm a name. > - The last typed name for identification is filled in automatically, this can > be handy, but only if you realise this is happening. The name's should now be "selected" so if you just type, it is deleted. Works like Browser address bars on Windows. > - I have 1781 unknown faces left, it is a lot! > - it would be easier to tag if similar faces are grouped together. As soon as we have a good recognition algorithm > > - Face detection doesn't seem to appear or be active anywhere else but in the > People tab. > A way face detection could be more visible outside the people tab: > - In any view, inside a photo with faces, show a balloon when hovering over a > face with some options: > - this is not a face > - this is (suggested/select)'s face This is possible, open a picture for preview and hover it. It's not directly possible in the thumbnail view because there is no 1:1 correspondance: There can be multiple faces on a picture. In face mode, there is one thumbnail per face; everywhere else, one thumbnail per picture
Following last comment from Marcel, this point : > - I have 1781 unknown faces left, it is a lot! > - it would be easier to tag if similar faces are grouped together. => As soon as we have a good recognition algorithm ... this point is now solved with 4.x serie. All other point are already explained. Gilles Caulier Gilles Caulier
