Description Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2010-01-24 17:11:00 UTC
There are some face detection and recognition libraries out there that could be
used, one well-known is the Intel's OpenCV lib [1]. libFace [2] is another one
that specializes in face rec/det and uses intel's lib internally.

Gnome's F-Spot has a similar bug request [3].
Also, the same for KDE's Digikam [4]

Maybe this should be a meta-project so all photo managers (f-spot, gthumb,
shotwell...) can use the same implementation?

I've filled a meta bug in launchapd about this: [5]

Comment 1 Matthias Hawran 2010-01-25 08:29:02 UTC
Definitely a good idea.
It would be a plug-in in gthumb.
Patches are welcome, see how-to: http://live.gnome.org/gthumb/extensions

Note that gthumb is in a rewrite period through the new 2.11.x serie,
so for now developers are concentrating on having the same features as 2.10.x
and bug fixes to have a stable release.
Comment 2 Michael Chudobiak 2015-12-18 18:20:03 UTC
Marking as obsolete, as this was reported for an unspecified / now-unsupported version and no recent activity has occurred. 

Please feel free to reopen this bug report if it describes a bug that still occurs with a current version of gThumb.
