Summary of the issue you are facing:

I’m new to nextclod and it’s various app.
I’m trying to replace my existing symogy Photo app, withthe photo within Nextcloud.
Synology Photo automatically tag ppl in picture with their name tag automatically(once assigned few pictures the correct tag)
I would like to understand if photo with recognize allow the same functionality.
I’ve installed recognize run the first scan so I got all the default tags created and all my pictures got assigned all the relevant default tags (I have to say it was an impressive result, in term on how pic got a tag assigned and how little resource the process used).
Now I’v isntalled collaborative tags, created my own tags, found how to assign to specifi pictures, but I can’t understanf if and how recognize can rescan pictures to assign my defined tags learnig from the association i made.
Is this a thing? If so how to do it?

The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.
