Valentin, I think you're right and hierarchical tags are not really related to what you are talking about. You could implement positional tags like Facebook does: a lot simpler than face recognition but would do the trick. You can then add face recognition later to automate (or partially automate) the process. Having said this, even implementing the simple version of positional tags is not straightforward as you would have to change the Shotwell database schema to implement the tag-photo link outside of the tag table so that you can assign the position on a tag+photo basis. Not the end of the world but it would need to be done carefully and with the right hooks to upgrade the database schema when users upgrade Shotwell. > > I think that this would be the first step to implement > http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1702 --and the face recognition feature > would automatize the process. I'd actually consider this as the last piece to implement: get the positional tags with manual tagging (à la Facebook) working first and then you can add face recognition on top to automate it.
