SUMMARY Similarity-Duplicates / Groups The group has 3 members: 1 flower jpg; 1 boy jpg; 1 boy dng. Only the boy's dng and jpg can be seen under the similarity, with Show all grouped items as open is selected. If Show all grouped items as open is NOT selected, no image is visible under this similarity, which is of course not correct. To resolve this contradiction, I suggest that under this similarity, the group will always see all (3) pictures, so that you can decide for yourself how to proceed. Group members who do not fully or not at all meet the condition could be marked in some way, such as a change in tone. From this, the user understands that the second tone picture does not meet the condition. This principle could be applied elsewhere under searches and filters STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a group in which some images are similar and others not at all. 2. Show all grouped items as open is selected - only part of the group is visible 3. Show all grouped items as open is NOT selected, no image is visible under this similarity OBSERVED RESULT See previous points 2 and 3 EXPECTED RESULT The group is always fully visible. The user can create groups with very different principles, and in this case it is important to see if the third member of the group is similar in some way or not.

The group filter is a view filter. The option under View to show all groups as open was created precisely for this situation. Users can use groups to "hide" images, they don't want to see them in searches either. Maik
