Bug ID: 428187 Summary: first user experience scares (non technical) people away and picasa3 faces imported but not as faces Product: digikam Version: 7.1.0 Platform: Other OS: Other Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Albums-Engine Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: lrnt...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Following the bug entry 427907 where Maik exlained me what the problems were with import from picasa3 where digikam does not correctly take the faces out of the metadata i went to try to import part of the photos I have (more than 600Gbyte, about 150'000 photos. The original scanning took Digikam almost 24hours without being able to open digicam...just wait time. So first comment here. I do not have an issue with this but probably many users that just want to try digikam will be scared away from the SW and go for ACDSEE or something else.... the reason why is that it blocked my computer for a full day (every operation was slower on the computer and it has ssd disk and good processor): So could you not improve it and do the scanning in the background like PICASA3 does. So at least the people can browse their photos immediatly. User Experience would be 100 times better). Next when the scan was finished, again NO Face rectangles were recognised at all out of the PICASA3 faces. All the names of the people were in the list of persons but no face rectangles at all. So same as my first experience. I had to reread the metadata for each photo. This was my input for this big bunch of photos. But basically, making Digikam do the scanning and then face recognition work in the background would make it a great SW like Picasa3 was.
