--- Comment #13 from MarcP <iwannaber...@gmail.com> --- Hi Gilles, Kind of. It's not a bug per se, but a result of the way Digikam treats face regions and regular keywords. Face tags and regular tags are "merged" (shown as a single element) in Digikam if they have the same name. But not all picture managers also write a regular tag when a face is added, and this can lead to inconsistencies. So basically the problematic behavior here is that some face tags might end up outside "People" when importing pictures with new people in it. That will happen if: 1) The first picture that contained that name only contained it as a regular tag. 2) Subsequent pictures also (or only) contain that same name as a face tag. In that case Digikam will first place that tag outside the People hierarchy (because it wasn't a face tag at first), but then, when scanning more pictures, even if they contain face regions with that name, will continue to place them on the already created tag, outside the "People" hierarchy. It's a rather minor thing once your library has been curated in Digikam, but it can be a bit annoying when importing pictures edited in another picture manager. And I don't see an easy solution either. If digikam automatically realized that that new tag is indeed a face tag, it could move it inside "People", but that is a very dangerous move, because you don't know if the user had previously placed that tag somewhere else on purpose. Anyway, feel free to do what you want with this report. I still think I'd like to see regular tags and people tags being treated as independent things, but this is not how digikam has been working until now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
