Group JPG and RAW

[Gilles Caulier]

At least "Group by Type" must be "Group by Type-Mime". Type Mime is already
used in setup dialog.

Take a care. Wikipedia said that media type must be used instead type mime
tp prevent confusion. I'm not agree. Media is a support of data, as network
stream, removable device, etc... Not only a file.
