SUMMARY *** Whenever I edit an image (jpg) with the digikam image editor and save the changes as a new version (jpg), the original image still gets shown in e.g. the Thumbnails view even though I have enabled non-destructive editiing and versioning and unchecked the "Always show original images" and "Always show intermediate snapshots" options. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Configure Image Editor->Versioning settings as above 2. Edit an image in the Image Editor and save a new version OBSERVED RESULT The original image is still shown in the Thumbnails view EXPECTED RESULT The original image is hidden in the Thumbnails view SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Of course, if you save as a new version, the original will not be "hidden". You just have to do a "Save changes". There is also the possibility that your original images are not original and already have a history. I just tested it again, works without any problems. Maik

It's indeed working on my side, too, the way you described it. I would have a follow-up question related to how the versioning and grouping work together. I usually photograph in RAW+JPG and group the RAW and JPG images by filename in digikam. When I then edit the JPG in save it, I afterwards only see the newest JPG version in the Thumbnails view, the complete group including the RAW file being hidden. When I then check "View->Show all grouped items as open", I see the RAW file, the new JPG version and the old JPG version (which represents the group of original RAW+JPG). If I manually group all three files together and uncheck "View->Show all grouped items as open", I don't see any of the three files anymore. I can sort of understand why this is the case, but it be more convenient, if the new JPG version would automatically replace the old JPG version as head of the group. Is there a way this can be done, or am I missing something? Please also let me know if I should file a new bug/feature request for this.
Well, grouping and versioning are completely different things and have nothing to do with each other. Grouping by filename sets the image that is smaller in file size as the leader. The idea here is that the RAW image is larger, so the derived JPG is in front. If you make multiple edits and save, I would only group the images manually afterwards, then you can make the image to the leader, which is the correct one. Maik
Hiding original images in versioning works, I close here. Maik

Could you quickly tell me how to make a picture the leader of a group? If I e.g. have original images image.JPG and image.RAW and a jpeg edit image_v1.JPG and group those three, then image.JPG shows as leader of the group. How can I make image_v1.JPG the leader?
Hi pipo. Always the last selected image will leader of the group.
(In reply to Peter from comment #6) > Hi pipo. > Always the last selected image will leader of the group. Sorry... So, always the last selected image will leader of the group... ...in case, if you click the right mouse button over the leader image and select in local menu: group... Example: - PIC 1; PIC 2; PIC 3 - Let it be leader of group: PIC 2 - In case select: PIC 1; PIC 3 and finally PIC 2 - Group
Wow, that's easy, thanks a lot. Incredible that I didn't stumble about this yet by accident :)
