What about face recognition
What about face recognition stuff?
In 2.0
In 2.0
Lots of Bug Fixes. Yay!
It's nice to see that these recent releases are very focussed on fixing
bugs and making DigiKam more stable. New features are nice, but making
existing features work really well is just as nice. Keep up the good
work. I appreciate it.
Hear, hear!
I fully agree...although face recognition would help me convert a few Google Picasa users : P
Face Recognition
Is there anyone out there who knows what we can reasonably
expect from the planned face recognition support? How accurate
is it likely to be? Will it take just as long to go through the
photos and correct the missing or incorrect "Person" tags after
automatic face recognition as it would to do the whole thing
manually? Will automatic recognition take longer to run than
doing it by hand?
I don't really have any issues with doing it manually, but that
might be because I want to tag all the photos anyway. Face
recognition might be of more use for those users who do not
intend to tag all the photos and would just like to find "photos
with faces like this one" from time-to-time.
(Does anyone else think that the CAPTCHA should not ask for
letters like w, c, v, s, p, o, x, u, and others that look the same
in upper-case and lower-case? It's painful!)
look release plan...
It's planed to 2.0.0. Look there :

Face Recognition
Hi Gilles,
Thanks, but I've seen that before:
digiKam 2.x Release Plan - including GoSC-2010 works
(as XMP Sidecar support, Face Recognition, and Versioning)
- from git repository
However, it doesn't answer any of my questions. I was
wondering if anyone knew what it would be like to use,
not when it would be available.
J.
Anyway the first beta was
Anyway the first beta was planed on 26, so it should not be long before you can try by yourself.
BTW, thanks to all the team for this amazing soft, it's so precious for somebody disorganised like me :)
Picasa
I would love to switch from Picasa, all I need is a native Mac version.
Great pressie :)
A great big thank you to all working on DigiKam.
Merry Xmas and wishing you all a great new year.
Sexy!
Thanks for getting down and doing the most important yet unfun side f things, eliminating those bugs and getting Digikam (even more) rock solid, stable.
Just a quick question: Is there any interest in using all the new QML stuff t get a more dynamic, animated interface into Digikam. When I tried Lightroom, I was struck by how nice it just "felt" with images moving around and zooming in when I selected one.
It would also be awesome if settings allowed an image being viewed to take up more of the screen (such as in Gwenview). Having menu's and bars on all four sides makes it a bit cramped.
Enough of the grousing / wishlist items though. Thanks for *already* making Digikam the sexy and massively featured image management app it already is. Your work is appreciated! :D
Congratulations!
Many congratulations to your team for all your great work to improve digital photography on Linux!

Sqlite database
Look on Sqlite database website in FAQ. There is a problem with DB transactions. Use mysql instead...

Sorry for writing it here, but I can't find the solution anywhere else.

Check if digikam process is running in background:
ps -ef | grep digikam
If it's using significant amount of CPU, probably it is refreshing your albums...
