Face Tag Plugin for Linux

[SnowDiver]

Hi,
I just installed Linux on my computer. For a while, I use Windows and Linux in parallel, but plan to move completely.

I'm happy to be able to continue using XnView on Linux, but I miss the face tag plugin. How do I install this plugin in Linux? Do I need to download the plugin as package?

XnViewMP version: 1.10.3
.libformat: 7.232
Linux: Ubuntu 24.04

Thanks for your help

curerntly this plugin is only available for windows, but soon for MacOS/Linux

[SnowDiver]

Great news. Thanks for your answer and your work. In the meantime I will you the remaining windows instance for this feature.

[xnview]

With 1.10.5, you have the plugin

[SnowDiver]

Thank you, Pierre Great news to have the plugin now.

I can open the face tagging dialogue and tag manually all persons, but automatic face detection does not work. Do I need to install another package? Or is this feature not intended when introducing this plugin for Linux?

there is a problem when decompressing plugin, you need to re-make links in folder /.config/xnviewmp/AddOns

Code: Select all

ln -s libopencv_core.so libopencv_core.so.413
ln -s libopencv_dnn.so libopencv_dnn.so.413
ln -s libopencv_imgproc.so libopencv_imgproc.so.413

Sorry to but in in this topic.

I am now using the appimage release for 1.10.5, I have installed the face tag plug in but I don't know how to use it. I can see in the metadata menu the "edit face tag" but I don't see how to insert a face tag on a picture. In the metadata settings I have ticked the face tag setting.

Thanks

Do you have made the links?

[Pepelu]

I hadn't made the links, I thought it was for the deb package. Now I have tried, and I get this:
