digiKam 7.2 comes seven months after digiKam 7.1 and introduces lots of improvements to Albums management to better support wildcards and item grouping with special use cases, speed up user queries, improve removable media support, and better homogeneous in views about items properties.

Once again, the digiKam development team made a huge effort to further improve the software’s face detection and recognition, adding a new data model called Yolo to detect more faces on images with complex shot conditions, improve red eye detection, and simplify the use of face tags in the faces workflow.
