[Digikam-users] Automatic Grouping of RAW and JPEG files possible?

[Jose Sabater Montes]

Hello,

I use a Python script to group raw and normal pictures that are in the 
same album (same name but different extension). I have uploaded it here:
https://gist.github.com/nudomarinero/af88acf44868a9e5bcdc

It assumes that Digikam is using a SQlite database located in your home 
under "Pictures", but you can pass the option "-d" with the path to the 
database. Until now, I have not had any problem, but note that the 
script modifies the database directly and this is potentially dangerous. 
I would not use it while Digikam is open. The option "-n" is used to 
just check which files would be grouped without actually updating the 
database. Please use it at your own risk.

It would be great to be able to do this kind of things from within 
Digikam in the future. Python plug-ins that can add functionality to 
Digikam. This is implemented already in other software like, for 
example, Gimp.

Best regards,
Jose
