I Identifies with Picasa on many faces and
Assigned to individuals. All data is stored locally.
How can I import the faces and their assignment from Picasa  into Digikam ?
All images, Picasa and Digikam are on a Windows machine
installed / saved.

There is a script that can copy face tags from Picasa to xmp sidecar
files:
https://github.com/gregersn/faceextract
You will probably have to adjust some settings though and I'm not sure
wether this works well on Windows.
From the xmp files you can easily import the metadata to DK.
Please note that this will only create tags for the faces in the image
and not save the area of the face.

Some time ago I've started a fork of the above mentioned script (in
python). As I don't have much time for this at the moment development is
at a standstill. I hope to continue over Christmas will be happy for
testers then ...

I realized that importing face tags from pictures that were previously
exported by digiKam does not even work, see
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=255&t=154155.

Or can anybody help here?

If you are really using  digiKam 4.12.0, that is a very old version. I had no
problem importing all my faces in Digikam from Picasa, as long as the face
information is stored in each picture (there's an option to enable that in
Picasa). Try with the latest digikam 6.0beta and it should just work.

Well unfortunately digiKam 4.12.0 is still the current version in Ubuntu's
16.04 LTS package repositories. That's the reason I was still using it.

Since digiKam 4.12.0 for some reason also misses the geolocation feature, I
now updated to digiKam 6.0.0 beta and am not experiences any of these issues
any more. Thank you!
