Please consider adding any sort of an indicator that would allow to see whether users previews a single image or a group of images. This would save users from going back and forth between Thumbnails view to Preview. http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digiKam-users-quot-Grouped-quot-icon-frame-in-Preview-view-td4706070.html#a4706083
You can also see in the preview mode at the thumbbar, if you display the image of a closed group. Then the image stack frame is drawn around the thumbnail. Maik

Sometimes I wish some of the thumbbar's functionality was available in Preview mode when the bar is hidden. See and set star ratings, see grouped images, see pick and color labels, etc.
Git commit 245614fb1920996726a0cd59e49e5b64829f1937 by Gilles Caulier. Committed on 10/12/2025 at 14:03. Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'. Enhancement: Grouped Items Usability Improvements This update introduces significant usability improvements for grouped items in digiKam: - Visual Highlighting for Open Groups: Previously, only closed groups were visually distinguished by a decorative border around the thumbnail of the stack's representative image. Now, each item within an open group is also highlighted with a colored border, ensuring better visual consistency and making it easier to identify group members at a glance. - Tree-View in Image Properties: The Image Properties right sidebar tab now supports a tree-view display for grouped items. Users can expand or collapse group stacks on demand, providing a more intuitive and flexible workflow.
