The people search has a convenient feature where if you select the "People/Unknown" tag, tagged faces without assigned names can be batched tagged. This is very helpful when you have a number of recurring people you wish to tag. You can for instance select several thumbnails, hover over the tag input, and enter the name. All the tags will be set in one go. When you have a number of images of groups of the same people, it would be nice to be able to draw a face rectangle from the image preview, but leave the tag as unknown. Then you can later go to the people search, select the "People/Unknown" and batch assign the tags. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Preview an image with a face 2. Draw a face rectangle on one of the faces 3. The default name is "unknown". Clicking Ok does not accept the "unknown", and if you don't set a name, the tag is not recorded. Actual Results: "Ok" on the default name of "unknown" is not accepted, and if a name is not entered, the rectangle is not recorded. Expected Results: The default "unknown" should be accepted, allowing to go to the "People/Unknown" search, and batch tag.
I checked with last digiKam 4.2.0, when creating a new face area over preview, you can assign current digiKam implementationtag "People/Unknown". Gilles Caulier

I'm willing to work on this issue given minimal direction from core developers.

Hey Rick, I tested this with current state of digiKam (5.4.0). If you draw a rect on some image to identify a face, the region is automatically saved in database. The name "unknown" is suggested. But as long you do not enter a real identity of a person, the face region is automatically assigned to the tag "People/Unknown". You do not have to confirm that. So if you draw a face rect and klick somewhere else on the image, the assigned "face" tag is the dummy tag Unknown. And then you can go into the face tag Unknown and batch tag. Isn't this what you expect? Or do I miss something?
7.0.0-beta1 is out with new Face Recognition algorithm based on Deep Learning/Neural Network API from OpenCV https://download.kde.org/unstable/digikam/ Please test and give us a feedback Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
Comment #4 from Frank is right and still valid with 7.0.0-beta1. I close this file now. Re-ope it if necessary... Gilles Caulier
