Q: Faces gone from Mac app
Hi,
My faces are gone from my Mac app. I can still search for it on both Mac and iOS. But when I navigate to it via Albums -> Faces I'm presented with a "Get Started" dialog.
I believe I reinstalled my Mac and downloaded all photos from iCloud again half a year ago. I've read Faces don't sync to iCloud but you can search for them because they're connected to invisible smart albums which do sync.
However, I do have a 45Mb Person.db file within my Photos Library. I can find all my Face names when I text search in that database. So I believe I still have the database file, but Photos app doesn't seem to recognize it.
Any ideas?
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
