[Feature] Enable multiselection in the show/hide faces page

The feature

Every time I upload new pictures, my /people page gets cluttered with faces of background people, and even statues, drawn faces, dolls... Even though named faces appear on top, I prefer hiding all others and keeping only those that I may want to ever search for. I currently have to do so by clicking one by one over them on the hide/show page. It would be better if I could easily hide them all at once by multi-selecting with the shift key, or dragging over them (#4935). Having an option to hide newly recognized faces by default would be even nicer.

Perhaps increasing the min faces option in admin>machine learning>facial recognition would help you for now (mine is set to 3)?

Great tip! I didn't know about that setting. Thanks.
I still think that multiselection would be a nice addition, but now it is no longer a feature I desperately need. :)

I have lots of pictures of school events and all the faces of random students/classmates have a large number of matching images. min faces doesn't help here.

There is a pending request for 'select/hide all unnamed faces' which would help a lot.
I made this comment to also suggest 'invert selection', which would save a LOT of clicks. It's then two clicks (select my kid, then invert) versus X-1 number of clicks to manually select everyone that isn't my kid.

Would love to see that as well.

I just saw there is this button where it's much easier to hide multiple people.
