been already reported. The option in Setup/Miscs panel have been
disabled by default for the 8.8.0. Go to this configuration view and
turn off the checkbox :

Since I have a lot of pictures, that is a long process and it dynamically updates the "Unknown" people list, which makes it hard to continue putting names until the procedure ends.
