--- Comment #15 from Lukas Jirkovsky <l.jirkov...@gmail.com> --- What about solution similar to how wine handles it's gecko and mono packages? They can be installed system-wide using package manager, or automatically during first startup. The face recognition data can be released separately from digiKam. * the face recognition data would be released separately from digiKam, so they don't have to be updated with every digiKam release * digikam would have to check both system folder and user folder * nice to have: have the notification less obtrusive, something like the notifications in kate eg. when you reload a file. * nice to have #2: if the files are not available, disable the affected functionality and notify user that they need the data when they try to use it. This would improve at least the following use cases: * users that manage multiple computers would download the system-wide package once and install it everywhere * shared computers - the system-wide package would need to be installed only once rather than for every user * users of linux distros that prefer to use packages to download&install stuff * windows users and any other users that doesn't care about downloading data separately would download the data on startup if they wanted to * in the system-wide install scenarios, digiKam updates would not require re-downloading the data, because they would be released separately -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
