Re: Display MWG-Regions and names on image
Picasa faces recognition adds XMP metadata :
XnViewMP doesn't take care of these metadata ?
Exiftool displays Region name with this parameters (Tools, Open with, Configure, Add, AddOn/Exiftool , parameters = -k "-xmp-mwg-rs:RegionName" )
"People" in categories filter is still empty ...
Which metadata does XnViewMP recognise ?
Code: Select all
File : lh01.jpg
XMP Toolkit : XMP Core 5.1.2
Region Applied To Dimensions W : 900
Region Applied To Dimensions H : 508

Region Area W : 0.3, 0.295556
Region Area H : 0.639764, 0.614173
Region Area Unit : normalized, normalized
Exiftool displays Region name with this parameters (Tools, Open with, Configure, Add, AddOn/Exiftool , parameters = -k "-xmp-mwg-rs:RegionName" )
"People" in categories filter is still empty ...

Re: Display MWG-Regions and names on image
It seems working with Microsoft metadata.
But Neither browsing an existing folder nor Update catalog from files can create new people
The only way is to delete / add folder in settings, catalog.
XnViewMP does read RegionPersonDisplayName
Edit:
Maybe "Update catalog from files" works, if people existed in the catalog before
I'll do some other tests ...
EditEdit: It works if people exist.
Edit :
Still not working with Picasa metadata.
When Picasa RegionName is copied into RegionPersonDisplayName it will work.
I must use exiftool -k "-xmp:RegionPersonDisplayName<xmp-mwg-rs:RegionName"

Ok, i confirm the problem with MWG regions

Re: Display MWG-Regions and names on image
With "update catalog from files", XnViewMP V0.98.1 reads the names written by Picasa ( xmp-mwg-rs:RegionName ) : SolvedStill not working with Picasa metadata.
Even if people did not exist before, with "update catalog from files", XnViewMP V0.98.1 will create them in "people" categories filter. : SolvedMaybe "Update catalog from files" works, if people existed in the catalog before
The only small problem remaining for me is that browsing folders is not sufficient to make XnViewMP refresh these xmp metadata (Maybe only iptc are read when browsing ?)

Re: Display MWG-Regions and names on image
I'm using Win10 XnView MP Version 0.99.1 64bits (Sep 23 2021) plus Picasa tagged MWG Regions tags. I cannot see any option to display the facetags on the image. What should I be looking for?
Thanks, Paul
Thanks, Paul
Re: Display MWG-Regions and names on image
First, set the parameters so that XnViewMP reads the "Region name" tags (tools > settings > metadata > import xmp face fields )
Then , If your photos contain the equivalent keywords to the categories (i.e. you have not assigned categories (and stars and labels) without exporting them as embedded metadata) force the re-reading of the folders by deleting / adding them to the table in the tools > settings > catalog... screen. (you can add parent folders, reading is recursive)
Now, faces tags should appear in "Categories filter" pane.
Click on a name and get filtered photos ...
Full managing of face tags is not yet implemented in XnViewMP.
You can't edit these tags, only simple filtering is available.
(except in "edit xmp" window , iptc extensions tab ... but I don't remember which tag can be read / written here)
You can also create a "Tools, Open with ..." function where ExifTool will add a simplified fixed RegionName, not handly
In View mode, "Settings, View, Informations" you can add only IPTC fields, and no xmp ...
A good idea for a request : allow displaying there XMP data, especially xmp face tags , because it is not relevant to copy this xmp information into any iptc field.

Re: Display MWG-Regions and names on image
You can display regions and region names in view mode :
Use "view" menu, > display region names ...
Or create a new button in view mode
Settings > Interface > Tool bar > View mode > ... and add the "show region button" (cmd_show region) ...
but this red text is not very nice

Re: Display MWG-Regions and names on image
Thank you @michel038 for your two pieces of information. I am now able to view the facetags well.
I agree that the red text doesn't work very well. The boxes are OK though.
TagThatPhoto doesn't display names on the photos but uses yellow for current image, green for tagged image and red for untagged face. Yellow works best IMHO.
Adobe Lightroom uses grey and places a background behind the text helps to highlight it. This works quite well. So I conclude that Yellow boxes work best, with either black text on white background (or white text on black background). But it's subjective. Maybe add colour options to settings?
