I've been using the "x" feat...Hi RG,<br /><br />I've been using the "x" feature to tell it to ignore faces that I don't know.<br /><br />And I don't laptop.<br /><br />But I bet I'll have plenty of frustrations to recount soon enought.<br /><br />(Already for example, the "Add a Person Manually" button isn't available when you're in the "People" section. You have to look at a photo in the "Folders" section to get it.)David Scrimshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714106408606785482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15726646.post-41886486176362919392010-01-11T12:44:22.857-05:002010-01-11T12:44:22.857-05:00...looks like you could use comment moderation or ......looks like you could use comment moderation or CAPTCHAs...<br /><br />I was rather pissed after tagging all my faces in after upgrading to Picasa 3.5 to discover that Picasa assumes that you only ever want to look at photos of people. <br /><br />This is annoying as all hell for me, because most of the time I'm looking for photos of stuff, places, or buildings. Now whenever I search for something, I have to scroll through all the faces of people I don't want to look at, and there's no way of turning it off without destroying all the effort that went into tagging them in the first place.<br /><br />Also a privacy issue when you're using Picasa on your laptop in a public place or trying to find a picture of something with a (non-close) friend looking over your shoulder. Start typing and the faces of people with the first letter will appear in the search results.<br /><br />And most of my photos are old, anyway. You go on one trip in high school and you have to look at the faces of a bunch of kids you didn't know (not to mention all the "unrecognized" Chinese people!) for the rest of your life!<br /><br />- RG>RealGrouchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531673943200546692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15726646.post-38935220359486685332010-01-11T06:23:00.404-05:002010-01-11T06:23:00.404-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
