Created attachment 116139 [details] Patch implementing this functionality SUMMARY Provide functionality to group images together when they were part of the same timelapse or burst. This will be especially usefull when timelapse photos are mixed with single-shots, or when importing from a sports camera like Gopro. Photos from the same timelapse are assumed to have an increasing number in their filename (IMG0001.jpg, IMG00002.jpg and so on). They will be also taken with the same time interval between each other (ex. every 30 seconds or so). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Compile with the patch provided 2. Import some files that belong to a timelapse. 3. Select imported files (and more possibly) and use the context menu to select Group->Group By Timelapse / Burst EXPECTED RESULT Images belonging to the same timelapse should be grouped together. The selection process should be smart enough to distinguish several different timelapses from each other as well as ignore single-shot photos in between. SOFTWARE VERSIONS All ADDITIONAL INFORMATION All suggestions are welcome :) I'm wondering whether the minimum acceptable number of photos in a series should be configurable in the GUI. The patch assumes 3.
Can you please update the patch to compile with the digiKam git/master version? We've made some recent changes, for example, ImageInfo() is now ItemInfo(). Maik

Your patch uses the QStringView class that exists only since Qt-5.10. DigiKam minimum Qt version is currently set to Qt-5.6.0. I think it will take some time before we can set the minimum QT version 5.10. It would be best if the patch would do without QStringView. Otherwise, the patch works fine. Maik
