Or perhaps it is better to keep it manual..

Anyway, I'm a bit confused about some grouping matters: When I convert RAW into
JPEG in the image editor, the original RAW image gets hidden. Then, if I delete
the converted JPEG, the RAW image shows up again so it wasn't deleted. Whereas
if I convert RAW to JPEG with batch manager, the RAW image doesn't get hidden,
so I use grouping and then when I delete the JPEG (i.e., the group), both
images get deleted. I prefer the latter, that is, deleting both images.

Just an idea, not sure if it makes sense: Could grouping and versioning be
unified somehow? For instance, instead of hiding the original image, create a
group? That is, use the grouping framework for the image stacks in versioning
too? Or when deleting an image, also delete all the images that it hides
because of versioning? Probably, these wouldn't work like this and I'm most
likely missing something, but I just find the current situation a bit confusing
or maybe I need to understand something. Any thoughts? If this comment is worth
a "bug" report of its own, I can copy it to a new report.
