It is one of the wishes with the largest number of votes (place 6!),
so there is definitively a lot of interest in this feature!

In https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116606#c5 Marcel discusses briefly,
what changes would be necessary. 
Maybe https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116606#c7 is a good idea,
by using a (to be introduced) "virtual" group ("Merged") in 
AlbumIconView::slotImageListerNewItems ?
((for a quick test one might just fake this and put it all into
one album with a known id ...;-)). This would leave IconView::sort()
untouched (not sure what side-effects/problems there could be).

While it most likely would not make it
into 0.9.3 final (string freeze), it would be great to 
see this as one of the first great
new features for 0.9.4, so the coding may start now!

Chris, if you need any help, don't hesitate to ask here or on the digikam-devel
mailing list.
In particular using the IRC (#digikam on irc.freenode.net) is very efficient
for quick questions/discussions.
