--- Comment #80 from Peter <petko...@pcug.org.au> --- In view of the deepening hassles, I gave up on digiKam 4.x. All versions that I tried crashed out on memory overflow during face detection as well as on face tagging as described above. So, installed Linux Mint 18 (which also came with a version 4 digiKam) and then got digiKam 5.1 from philip5/extras. Now face tagging works without the memory overflow, great! This is very exciting and I have high hopes that digiKam will be a very useful tool for managing my photo collection (when I learn to drive it properly). Face detection by v5.1 works, mostly. I've had a couple of crashes with face detection, but I haven't worked out the circumstances. I haven't tried face recognition, denoted as 'experimental'. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
