Description

I have lots of photos that have been tagged by Picasa (I still use Picasa as it is one of fastest ways to tag faces) and it stores the face names using the following tags

[XMP-mwg-rs] RegionName
https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=11472.0

Would it be possible to allow Aves to index these face names as it would make finding photos so much better?

Research direction

Start by tracing Aves's XMP metadata indexing and the search path for face names, using the [XMP-mwg-rs] RegionName tag and the linked ExifTool discussion as context. Done means names written by Picasa are indexed and can be used to find the corresponding photos.
