Allow bulk confirmation of multiple different face identities across selected images

Brainstorm

Description

Currently, the face recognition workflow in digiKam requires confirming faces per person (tag), even when multiple faces across multiple images are already correctly identified.

While it is possible to:

  • select multiple faces and confirm them for one person

  • batch confirm similar faces grouped by similarity

…it is not possible to confirm multiple different identities in one action.

Problem

When working with images that contain multiple people (e.g. family photos, group shots), the workflow becomes inefficient:

Example:

  • 6 images

  • 3 people per image

  • all faces correctly recognized

Current workflow:

  • confirm Person A (all images)

  • confirm Person B (all images)

  • confirm Person C (all images)

:backhand_index_pointing_right: requires 3 separate actions instead of 1

This becomes very time-consuming for large collections (thousands of faces), as also noted by users struggling with bulk confirmation workflows

In the Unconfirmed items you can do it. Somewhere else you suggest that could be possible?

According to your picture: I’ve tried this and all selected photos are assigned same name: Yane, or am I missing something. I am using digikam beta version 9.1.0 from 20260415. BR, Marjan

Yes, it is what is happening for now selecting faces of different people. Your suggestion is valid, I believe. Even that it costs one or two clicks more.
