Subject: 1.7.2: Face tag not working for heic files
XnView: MP 1.7.2 - 64-bit
OS: Windows 11 - 64-bit
Face tag PlugIn does not save tagged faces in heic photos from iPhone.
Effect: no tagged faces after selecting and writing them.
To reproduce:
1. Browse a folder with heic format photos.
2. Select a heic image file.
3. In Browser, select Metadata, Face tag.
4. Enter a name for any face identified.
5. Select Write and select Yes to continue at overwrite warning if prompted.
6. Close Face Tag dialog box.
7. With the same image selected in Browser, select Metadata, Face tag.
Actual behaviour (bug): Face is labelled "Enter a name" (name not entered).
Expected behaviour: Face labelled with name entered previously.
Face tag works as expected with jpg and tif files.
Face tag writes some face data to XMP mwg-rs for heic files but does not include the
face name which is written to jpg and tif files, e.g.:
Regions.RegionList[1].Name Phil
