            Bug ID: 376351
           Summary: create a tool to automatically group jpeg and raw
                    images with same name
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.4.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: karsten at maxi-dsl.de
  Target Milestone: ---

hi digikam team,

I've just moved my photo collection from shotwell to digikam, for the fantastic
number of interesting features, and most importantly, the option to use a
central mysql database.
There's one thing I’m missing though, and I may very well just not have found
out how to do it: I'd like to group jpeg and raw files of the same photo, as I
usually have my camera set to produce both formats for each shot.
With my existing photo collection, it's not really feasible to do this by hand.
I've seen ticket 126149, but I'm not able to find the functionality I
understand from this ticket in digikam 5.4 - instead, grouping images by file
type (view/group pictures/by format) just separates them into two lists for
jpeg and raw.

So what am I looking for:
- a way to combine files with same filename, but different 'picture type'
  extensions into a group (in my & similar cases it will be exactly two
  files with the same date/time, and extensions .JPG and e.g. .ORF)
- either put the .JPG on top or make it configurable
- this could be done automatically for all jpeg/raw pairs
  (I understand that this is what is described in 126149?)
- or as a BQM tool to be run manually
  (in this case, ideally this functionality should also be available
   during image download)

There are quite some similar feature requests, most already resolved, so please
excuse me if I just don't see the obvious..

thanks for looking into this -
Karsten
