Import of contacts from Picasa to Lightroom

Having got acquainted with the next version Picasa, I have been obedient possibility of search persons in photos. As it would be good to have such possibility in Lightroom to not adding tags hands!

And here there was long-awaited version Lightroom 3... And there is no face recognition in new version! I have thought that it temporarily... That somebody will write a plug-in... And a plug-in have really written. A problem that Lightroom API does not allow to work directly with a tree of tags. So plug-in almost useless.

It was necessary to think out own solution. It is pleasant to understand that solution was thought up!
