The good:

Face recognition is easily one of the greatest features ever. And the current interface is pretty slick. But what I find is that I go to People, and then Unknown, and then I click on a face and I can enter a name in the box that appears beneath it, and it autocompletes wonderfully to known names and I can click the Check mark and move on. It remembers the name and I can rapidly categorise a series of similar faces in this way.

The problem:

It's awkward to change between names involves a lot of clicking and typing and moving from mouse to keyboard and back. Improving this workflow would rock. 

One idea I have is to remove the keyboard needs, so my hand can stay on the mouse. Enter a stamp ,mode and each of the faces in the People list to the left is now a selectable stamp. I can just click the face and now my stamp is for that name. I cab then click all the faces I think belong to that person. I can quickly swap by clicking another.  The mouse pointer might look like a stamp and have the name beside it to remind me.

Anyhow, just a thought. It keeps the whole workflow with the mouse rapidly clicking faces that I want to stamp with a given name. 

The terminology of course is not important (to me), this could be use a stamp metaphor to a tag metaphor or a naming metaphor or whatever fits into the Digikam world best.

Do you know that you can drag and drop unknown face(s) onto a face tag in order to assign the name to the unknown face(s)?

Maik,

I think this file can be closed as we respond to the user with a solution based on D&D. Right ?
