Group JPG and RAW

[Simon Frei]

Hi Andrey,

I completely agree that the naming of grouping is confusing. Do you have
a suggestion how the two functionalities could be named instead?
One is grouping icons by album/format/not at all in the main view
(that's why it is in the "View" menu) and the other groups actual image
files together (->context menu).
Maybe the view grouping could be called structure instead of group and
keeping group terminology for images. I am not a native English speaker,
so I am very unsure on the subject.

Regarding "Group selected by type": This says exactly what it does: It
groups any file ("name.extension") that shares name but has a different
extension. So 00001.arw is grouped together with 00001.jpg, but also
with 00001.tif or any other extension.

Cheers,
Simon
