Description José Oliver-Didier 2022-02-01 21:26:46 UTC 
SUMMARY
Add view option for separating/grouping items by geolocation name (placename) derived from IPTC Location + City + State-Provice + Country metadata.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Digikam 7.5.0
2. Select an Album with images taken using diffrent devices/cameras
3. Go to menubar and select "Views" -> "Separate Items"

OBSERVED RESULT
- No option for geolocation name (placename)

EXPECTED RESULT
- Option to separate/group by geolocation name (placename). The grouping item should be derived from Location + City + State-Provice + Country. In the event an item is missing it should be labeled as (none), except if it is the first item. For example -

*Case 1: An image with Location=<empty>, City="Boston", State="Massachusetts", Country="United States" should appear as: "Boston, Massachusetts, United States" as the grouping item. If the
*Case 2: An image with a missing value "in between" or in the end - Location=<empty>, City="Boston", State=<empty>, Country="United States" should appear as "Boston, (none), United States"

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows 11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Windows Photo Gallery has a similar grouping option and it is quite useful to quickly group by Geolocation name.
