Question

Selecting All People VERY slow

When you go into the People section and open a single person, if you click on the first person and press Ctrl + A (I have just over 2000 Faces) it makes Lightroom stop responding (for over 10 minutes now and still waiting), I just want to add a Keyword for each person so I can search using Windows Explorer. I then noticed that after it had finished (15 minutes) that it had also selected the Similar faces (15000+) this is annoying as when I entered the people section the similar faces hadn't scanned and said 0 in the counter. so it would be nice to be able to select all the detected faces without similar ones being part of the selection in this case IMO.

I think more optimisation needs to be done when working with People as even tagging them can take a LOT of time to redetect similar faces each time you add some, it would be better to offer a refresh button if it can't be done smoothly as I was going through the list and skipping over the ones that were not the person and it makes going through the detections very time consuming, there is also not a Right click menu, I feel it would be better to have a list of most recent tags so you can do multiple people at once while going through them.

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.
