We have high interest in both these features, but as you can imagine they both 
require a lot of work to complete.  In the case of maps, we're taking small 
steps to get basic functionality in place, and then from there will look to 
expand it.  For faces, there's more work to do, but your suggestions to fit in 
with our vision going forward.  In particular, we do a similar view for Events, 
so Faces is a fit as well.

Thanks,

Hi, 

I think that the map feature as well as the faces tool should have 
separate views, not only an entry in the pane which filters photos, 
respectively a rather map in one corner. 

I imagine something similar to iPhoto: When clicking on the faces 
entry in the pane, show an overview of all persons in the database 
with their face shown as a tile, like an event. [1] 

The maps view would contain a big libchamplain-widget, clicking on a 
pin could show some options, one of them being to show all photos that 
are near to the one selected. [2] 

Assigning names to faces or manually geocoding picture could still be 
done in the normal photo library, but in my opinion this would make 
it also pleasant to browse photos which are tagged like that. 

What do you think? 

Kind Regards 

Alex
