smart album and faces

I have recently started using Photos app. I imported many photos and tagged almost all the faces that appeared and built a pretty decent faces library.

However when I try to create a smart album with faces criteria it doesnt work. Either when I choose "is" or "contains" a name of face, either if I pick the name from the available ones or I type it, either if I choose one or many faces the album does not show anything. Using other criteria (such as camera model, favorited photos or keywords) gives results. Faces gives nothing. I would like to use this feature very much and not just static albums.

Any ideas ?


Thank you

It did not work for me. I have all of my 10,000 photos tagged with the faces and when I tried to create an album with the criteria of only 2 faces (me and my girlfriend) it shows only 81 photos and I have a lot more photos with my gf than 81. "Text" and "Faces" gives me the same result. I would like to have a Smart Album with us two and nobody else. I think this is a bug... Any ideas?


Thanks!

That's the problem, when I created the album not all of mine and her photos goes to the folder, only a few that I don't know why. Last week I could see all of our photos and what I did was to "not include" a few names that was with us in the photos and it works fine. But now I don't know why only a few photos appears... it is a strange bug. This smart albums/playlist are buggy I think.
