Ability to add custom filters for memories

[SinTan1729]

It would be nice if it's possible to add filters of keywords or persons for memories. For the use case I'm considering, negative filters would make most sense. Basically, it might be nice to exclude some people from the memories for personal reasons.

I'll look into it, for now you can make such photos private and they won't appear in widgets or memories.

Thanks for considering it. I don't want to make them private, I just don't want to have them in my face every once in a while. It's like blocking someone vs simply muting them. In any case, it's understandable if this is not something you'd wanna implement. Thanks for the great app!

I'm testing the person filter now.

Technically it works, but I have to say that due to inaccuracies in face recognition you'll probably still see photos of people filtered out.
For example, here's the same day memory before and after I filtered myself out 🤷🏻:

Thanks for working on this. Yeah, it's not perfect. But what I do is I add a manual label whenever PhotoPrism misses a face. So if we just did keywords instead of person as a filter, it might work better. Since a person is also counted as a keyword is PhotoPrism, it'll be more versatile.

NOT filter for keywords would be more complicated to implement, as keywords are not returned with the search results. I won't do it for this feature.

[SinTan1729]

Fair enough.

I guess if photoprism/photoprism#2073 were implemented, it might've been easier.

Sure, then the person/face NOT filter will also work faster, as currently the search results will be filtered locally.
