Group JPG and RAW

[Christoph Huckle]

Hi Simon,

In the past I would have agreed with your explanation about grouping by
type, but after thinking about it, the group's don't hold images of the
same type and that's what grouping by type means.
So, I apologize for picking that expression and am the opinion that correct
would be grouping by name.

Regards,
Christoph
