| Aug 10, 2023 at 7:05 | comment | added | Ed Mechem | I wonder if there's a bug where, unless you're using the iCloud Photo Library feature, the recognizing of faces simply... won't work. I mean, have you compared # of known faces before & after? Then again, I seem to recall the criteria for smart albums in Photos might not (yet) include 'has face' (as iPhoto did), so, keeping cound of # of items in a smart album whose criteria is 'has face' may not be possible... Sorry for any vague guessing, just trying to help brainstorm & suggest maybe as a workaround, try using iCloud Photo Library. Let us know where it is now, please. Thanks. | |

FWIW, 18 months later and Photos.app is STILL reporting that it hasn't finished despite the machine being powered up and mostly idle for the majority of that time. The best I can guess is that there must be something it is getting hung up on (OR it really is that inefficient!). Ultimately, I was hoping that it would give me an "Unknown faces" type feature so that I could give it a hand with those it can't identify. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do anything like that. | |
