Most of the time I'm happy with my camera's JPEGs, however occasionally I like to fall back to RAW for some fine tuning. To facilitate this I tend to shoot photos in camera's RAW + JPEG mode, resulting in 2 files per show. The downside is I have to manually work my way through to duplicates. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set camera to RAW + JPEG mode to record 2 copies of each shot (one in RAW, one in JPEG) 2. Import into Digikam Actual Results: All images are duplicated Expected Results: Best case for me would be to have Digikam show just one image in album, with 2 versions: the RAW image as original one, and the JPEG as current version after camera's processing. This may be very specific to my workflow, I'm not sure how useful it would be for other users.
You can select all the images from an album and choose the entry "Group Selected By Type" from the context menu. JPG file is displayed and RAW file is hidden in the album. When you delete the JPG file of the closed group, the RAW file also is deleted. Maik
Nice. I've never used grouping before, I'll see how it works for me. Michal
I don't think grouping is the answer. Also, that means manually selecting every two images and grouping them. You can add metadata to both files outside of digikam to link them. I wrote a script in a few minutes to find a same-named match and link them if it exists. Maybe this is a problem for a plugin. raw: ImageUniqueID processed: ImageHistory pointing to the version 1 ID
I have a problem when I import images with DIGIKAM. I select IMPORT IMAGES and pictures appear that I check that they have already been downloaded and are in their ALBUM as if they were new, despite selecting ONLY NEW PICTURES when importing. How can I stop this from happening and actually discard the pictures that have already been downloaded for importing and not repeat them? I'm going round and round and I don't know how to solve it. Thank you.
