I wrote a rudimentary script that adds the applicable info to a pair of raw and processed files. It sure would be nice if digikam were smart enough to figure this one out on its own, though. However, I've found that versioning is flaky at best. When I add a batch of new files with metadata showing the DNG as version 1 and the JPG as version 2 it often takes a bunch of reloads to get the versions to show up. *** Bug 472883 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 472884 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Maik, While my huge bugzilla triaging, i was focused on grouped item feature, and one wish which become a lot of time is to group automatically the versioned images produced by editor and BQM. As i improved the grouped image visibility in icon-view, table-view, and image properties, if versioned items was saved in a grouped items, this will solve a lots of usability problem reported in bugzilla. What do you think about this topic. I think it's not complicated to implement. Best regards Gilles Maik, Did you seen my previous comment ? What do you seen to group automatically the versioned files created in editor and BQM ? Gilles Hi Gilles, Hmm, the function to hide the original image during versioning conflicts with grouping. Because the leader item would then disappear. Therefore, grouping shouldn't occur if the original image is hidden. However, if this option were activated later, the entire group would become invisible. This could cause a lot of confusion, despite the sidebar. Maik Perhaps we can treat the version in icon-view always as a group, as we have many reports about versioning usability (i agree we this point). Versioning can be only the properties in the database, always available in the right sidebar tab. In icon view the way to handle grouped items is really improved (i don't yet complete all the improvement, but it's so far better than previous implementation). Or, in the opposite, we need a similar way in icon view to visualize the versioned items as the grouped items. This can be also confusing and increase the complexity of the UX, but it can be better than current implementation where the versioned items can be hide or difficult to handle from the end-users. In all case something must be done: versioned + grouped | (versioned)++ Gilles |
