Problem with deleting and labelling JPG and RAW

[cerp]

I meant that in my opinion, the current solution, where you have to  
select and group manually is convoluted.

The solution you propose is better (automatic grouping), but in my  
opinion it would be better if JPG and RAW where linked automatically  
without using the grouping feature, so that we would still be able to  
use grouping for other issues.

Best,
