There are currently 2 grouping options when importing: - by folder - by format My cameras tend to either put all photos into one huge folder, or many small ones, with most of them in same format. This makes both groupings pretty useless to me. Option to group by date seems best option for me to split the huge folders or join the small ones into manageable chunks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open import window 2. Go to: View -> Group items Actual Results: Only flat list, by folder and by format groupings options are available Expected Results: Availability of new "group by date" option.

Created attachment 95161 [details] groupByDate.patch I found the proposal good to view grouped items by date in the icon view in the import tool. Maik
