Hello all,
I am new to digikam and just installed it this weekend. But I am stuck on the “Recognize faces” operation and here I put some dummy questions as a newbie!
- when I click on “Scan collection for faces” I always get a message of “Face recognition is aborted, because there is no identities to recognize, please add new identities”. (BTW, how to copy the error msg into clipboard? lol)
- I searched around and seemed at some versions there was an "Identity Management’, but I cannot find in the version I installed (8.5).
- so how to add identities ? or is there something I missed that routed me here? I checked the Identities table and it is empty. But I do have several names under People.
- when I directly add people/name to a photo, it wont be found from the People section. I can see it in the ImageTags table though and of course the image itself.
- I always think the face recognition process is first detect/categorize faces and then we manually assign/merge the categorized with names. But looks like digikam is quite different in the workflow and ask for identities first. Maybe I am missing something there.
my env:
- windows 10/11 for digiKam.
- mysql server on ubuntu system (22lts) ( SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators=1; was run)
- digiKam 8.5 with all required downloads were there.
Thanks a lot!
Jeff
