Hello !

I'm a developer of the Piwigo Team and I would like to thank you for your interest in Piwigo.

You did a good work here, and indeed, the auto-tagging feature is not part of Piwigo's feature. The main reason is that we have to use an external API, and we cannot assure to our users that their data will not be sold by this company.

However, I am currently developing a plugin for that, the first version is available here : https://github.com/Piwigo/piwigo-tag-recognition

This extension is integrated to the admin part of Piwigo and is quite simple to install. It will allow the use of different image recognition APIs. If you want to make requests on it, or try to improve it with pull request, I'll be glad to have your experience.

Plugins are a very important part of Piwigo's ecosystem, if you don't find a feature in Piwigo, maybe a plugin will cover it. Don't hesitate to create plugins, the skeleton plugin can help you for that (https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo-Skeleton).

I understand that PHP isn't the most attractive language ;)

If you want to make a feature request in this plugin, you should create an issue in the GitHub repository. (Here, you can write in "plain text" what you want and I'll work on that).

Hi Zacharieg,
I have extended your excellent plugin to also work with CompreFace (which can be ran on a local server). Do you want to include it in the plugin? I can also write a tutorial to set the whole thing up.
Best, J

edit: I added an issue to the repository, might be a better place :)

Hello. Im very interested to see this working..
