I use face recognition for Ubuntu Lock screen about a year and it's great when you have constant lightning, but in case of the phone it would be a great solution for locking.

- Open File dialog is ugly and quite unusable, but I can't use the standard one due to a bug in Qt libs
realsportcars, what bug are you talking about?

@eefo, try chmodding the binary for the app.
I haven't tried installing it yet but I assume it will be installed in /opt/usr/bin or /opt/<appname>, cd into that folder and run "sudo chmod +x <app executable>". Should fix it...

Anyway, nice idea for app. Waiting for initial release
Any decent security system consists of two elements: something you have and something you know. Link your face to a password and neither element on it's own would grant you access. Anyone with half a brain could see that is better than a password on its own...

[OFF-TOP]For me it's like MAC filtering on Your home AP (well, I mean not Your personally but who knows... ), or "hidden" networks, without broadcasting ssid. Or even worse, disabling dhcp as means of "Security". Sorry - I haven't measured how many percents of brain remain in this geeky head, but I don't see how "protecting" anything with such a easily obtainable thing as photo of Your face is any real addition to password.

You said "something that You have". Yea, as far as it's something that "only You have". Thinking like that, we can assume that even password demand something that You have - using of fingers. Everyone else also have this? Photo of someone else face is only 1% harder to obtain.

Fingerprint recognition is other thing - much harder to bypass for "kids" (ho ever, still quite easy to reproduce fingerprint, if You really prepare for "attack").

It's really sad how much computing power (and time, and money) is wasted for such "wishful thinking" about security - like virtual keyboards for logging into bank account But, whatever - it's really out of scope of this thread.
