Description

A feature I´d love to see in the future would be the ability to show faceses and the respective name.

I tag all my photos with Picasa and digicam (depending on the operating system I'm currently using). There is a function to automatically or manually find faces and to automatically assign them to people. These programs can in turn write this image information into the tags of the image file. For example, I can also see this information in the "geosetter" software. A red frame around the face is then displayed according to the tags and if you move the mouse over it, I get the name of this person displayed.

A similar function would also be great for ImageGlass. So I open a photo and then a border shows around the faces (you could change the color manually in the settings). Ideally, you could turn this function on and off via the menu bar.

I am not quite sure, how the neccessary tags are called. In "geosetter" those information are shown in the exif-tool tab page as "region area", "region type", "region name", "region area unit" and "region applied to dimension unit".

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by identifying how ImageGlass reads image metadata and renders overlays, then verify the EXIF region fields mentioned in the issue: region area, type, name, and units. Done means displaying named face regions with configurable borders and a menu option to enable or disable them.
