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

[Tim Burbank]

My approach to grouping RAW images with associated JPEGs has been to use Group Selected By Time from the right-click contextual menu. It's usually pretty accurate, but can get confused if your photos are taken in rapid succession. You can determine which file shows up on top of the group by changing the sort order before grouping. 

The Python script looks nice, I'll have to give it a try.
