[digiKam-users] Grouping images by filename

[krz.kapusta]

Thanks for all the answers!

I think the bugzilla feature mentioned by @meku
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318357 (grouping by regex) tries to
solve a more complex task than what I had in mind.

I went ahead and created a bugzilla feature
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400777 along with a patch for the
functionality as I would imaging it.
It combines knowledge about timestamps and filenames to try to divide
photos into groups of timelapses (or bursts). During my initial testing
this has proven to work just I wanted it to.

I'm interested what you think of such a feature landing in Digikam in the
future.
