</div></blockquote><div><br>As I don't see any display option to "open all groups"/"close all groups", I understand the filter won't work on the whole collections unless I open each group ... am I right? For me, it'll be a caveat big enough to prevent me to use this functionality.<br>

</div></blockquote><div><br>I understand your point. But I had very big problems a couple of versions/months ago: Digikam wouldn't ever recognize some pictures that have been grouped, whatever I tried; and I had to delete records manually from the database in order to make some of them reappear. <br>
So I'd rather avoid such a situation, and ask questions before to those who already have had some experiments on the matter.<br><br>Marie-Noëlle<br></div></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><a href="http://www.marie-noelle-augendre.com/photos/" target="_blank"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3CngBD0rusY/T2ehQSWI1gI/AAAAAAAABto/JgLg9iDzPHQ/s800/Banni%25C3%25A8re.jpg"></a><br>
