When I view XMP metadata (on the right side of the images), I can see no face-related information, although it is there as displayed by, for example, ExifTool. I'm sure digiKam can read face information from XMP metadata, as when I moved sample photos into digiKam album and synchronised metadata to digiKam DB, the faces appeared all right. But the info doesn't get displayed on the metadata tab (where I've selected to view all properties). It also doesn't get copied into clipboard if I click on that icon. Displaying of XMP metadata as such is supported, as I see other properties, usually the XMP metadata modification time which is itself a XMP metadata property. Also, there is an option to select to see XMP region information in the custom filtered properties view (mwg-rs category). Reproducible: Always
Instead to use Exiftool, try to use Exiv2 command line tool to see if face XMP info can been shown. Exiv2 shared lib is used in background by digiKam to play with metadata. Also, look on the top of XMP metadata viewver, you have a button to switch from Custom to Full view of metadata tags. Use Full mode and try again. Gilles Caulier
OK, now I'm doing it with Exiv2. Took an unmarked image and did the face recognition. digiKam added a bunch of XMP info, including the people tag, which can be seen in digiKam XMP metadata viewer, however specifically all Xmp.mwg-rs(.Regions)* properties listed by Exiv2 are not displayed in digiKam. Yes, I have the full view of all metadata switched on. (I experienced some kind of problem with digiKam assigning face data to another file B (with the same name but up one directory) not that I was actually modifying (A), resulting in all the XMP metadata being attached to B while displaying the face only in A, but not in B... But that is probably going to another bug report once I understand better what exactly is happening.)
Veaceslav, As you have work this summer on face tags metadata support, can you give some light here. Thanks in advance Gilles Cauier
Janis, Please share with us some sample images where you cannot see any face tags in XMP. Also, do you use digiKam XMP sidecar feature ? Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 83770 [details] A photo with XMP face tags that digiKam does not display
Janis, See my screenshot here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/11068342554/ It's possible to show all XMP tags with some dirty patch in code. This need to be polished to be published in production, but as you can see, your image with M$ XMP face tags are properly displayed and imported here... Look especially XMP viewer (:=)))... Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 83774 [details] Sample image with Darwin Core XMP metadata as per Gilles Cauliers suggestion, I am posting this image here. DwC XMP metatags also do not show up in digikam.
Alan, DwC XMp namespace can be show with my dirty patch, as you can see in my screenshot : http://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/11068905305/ Gilles Caulier
Yes, thank you! I have digiKam 3.3.0, so when there is an update, I suppose I'll get the fix.
Only future 4.0.0 release. Plan is here : http://community.kde.org/Digikam/GSoC2013#Roadmap_and_Releases_Plan_including_all_GSoC-2013_works Gilles Caulier
