Face tagging questions

Post by jlrjlr »

Hello Community

I am discovering the "face tagging" a great add-on, I have a few questions.

Using xnView 1.10.3 on W11

The bottom right corner of "face tagging" view shows the "modification date" of the image
-It has a funny format : "mer. mars 4 23:22:02 2026".
How can I change it to a more usual format such as "04/03/2026 23:22:02"
-This date is changed when the file is "Written".
Could the displayed date be updated; It will be a nice indicator that the face info are saved.

On the Filter pane the "Persons" node is very nice and similar to "Categories"
-How can I "filter" photos "with out" person ?
-How can I "filter" "Not" a person (Alt in category) ?

Tanks for your advices.

Right :bugconfirmed:

Currently it's not possible. What will be the best way to be able to that?

Hello Pierre

Thanks for taking care of my request.

-Modification date.

Is it possible to do a 'refresh' of the display once the file updated is done. It will be a nice indicator that the face info are saved.

-Person filter
"What will be the best way to be able to that ? "
Just do like what is done for "Category" (To my understanding "person" is basically a category)

-In "other" node add an entry "No person"

-When selecting a person, allow ALT meaning select "Not". Possibility change the little icon of this "selected not" person.

This proposal seems "simple" but might be not so simple to implement !

Thanks again for developing this fantastic tool.

Date format corrected in v 1.10.4 :D
Is there a plan to refresh the date once saving is done ?
