Face tags - issues and questions

[Hans-Christoph Paul]

Thanks for a great program.

I organize some pictures – around 600 right now.

 

A) Is there a significant difference between OpenSuse and Ubuntu in using Digikam?

On OpenSuse I work with about 36.600 pictures without bigger problems.

On Ubuntu I have problems with 600 pictures.

 

B) Ubuntu: After some changes in Tagging faces, the program starts “applying changes” and can run hours for that – if it’s not crashes. Is that an Exiv2 related problem? Can I use the latest version 0.25 or shall I stick to an older version?

 

C) I have chosen to save the face tags to file. How can this tags be made visible in other picture viewer or graphical programs?

 

 

Best regards

Hans-Christoph Paul

There was a bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323888
which caused a crash when you made any change to face tags.  That is now fixed but which version are you running?

Face tag info is stored in MetaData, stored as keywords and also within the exif it has co-ordinates for each face 'box'.  I guess it depends which other package you use to view and what capabilities it has.

Cheers

Phillip Johnsson has packged the latest versions of digikam and exiv2
on his PPA.

     https://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/ubuntu/extra

There have been tons of fixes and updates since the versions packaged in Ubuntu.

Cheers!

On my openSUSE I had the problem that one of the databases was damaged.
I solved it by deleting all digikam related databases (I write all my
changes to the picture itself) and than run the "tools" again to fill up
databases with fresh data.
This should work also with sidecar storing.
