    Hi Marie-Noëlle,<br>
    <br>
    The current behaviour is to do any operation on all group members
    when in grouped mode. I can only assure you again, that I will
    address this problem and I apologize for the inconvenience in the
    mean time.<br>

          <div>Hi Simon,<br>
            <br>
          </div>
          One more thing: I just saw that whole groups are also used to
          load the lighttable. I can't see any any point in comparing
          different formats and/or sizes pictures! <br>
          Apart from browsing albums, I definitely don't see any more
          usage for the grouping feature with this current behaviour; it
          seems that I need to display the pictures as ungrouped
          selections for everything.<br>

                      change in behaviour and for your use case, it
                      definitely doesn't make sense. This change has
                      been requested by users, but I agree, it has gone
                      too far by making this the only behaviour. This
                      should either be made configurable somehow.<br>
                      I introduces these changes so I am happy to think
                      of and implement a solution, but I have exams
                      coming up. So I will only be able to do this after
                      mid February. Your options are to live with it or
                      switch back to 5.3.0 for the time being (or hope
                      someone else will pick it up). I am sorry I can't

                                        <div>The big problem is this is
                                          a full change of behaviour. <br>
                                          For years, I have adopted a
                                          workflow that worked with
                                          'past' Digikam, and now it
                                          won't work anymore!<br>
                                          <br>
                                        </div>
                                        All my pictures are grouped
                                        'under' the TIFF format, that
                                        qualifies as the 'mother'
                                        picture: the original raw, the
                                        JPEGs that have been created
                                        from the TIFF (itself created in
                                        Darktable) and possibly other
                                        TIFF versions in case I made
                                        several different developments.<br>
                                      </div>
                                      Each time I needed to produce a
                                      JPEG, usually for online
                                      publication, a new photobook, or
                                      storing on mobile devices, I only
                                      had to select the TIFFs, and run
                                      whatever workflow I wanted to use
                                      in the BQM.<br>
                                      <br>
                                    </div>
                                    Selecting whole groups might be fine
                                    for managing metadata, but I can't
                                    see any relevancy when it comes to
                                    resizing, converting to JPEG(!),
                                    watermarking, exporting and such.<br>
                                    <br>
                                  </div>
                                  Please provide some kind of option,
                                  especially when using the batch queue
                                  manager, so we can have choice between
                                  selecting only the top picture, or the
                                  whole group.<br>
