Face Tag Plugin for Linux

Post by 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

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
