I'm using the grouped items feature, works fine Only "problem" is when you are running a search. If the grouped items are closed , the result of the search may be incomplete , and it can take some time before you can remember the grouped items are closed. suggestion would be: - either to run a search with the "Grouped Items as Open" - either propose to change this flag in the search interface

As discussed in the other bug, the search includes all items. Whether they are displayed is a view option. A search with open or closed groups is unnecessary. This flag is also not part of the search, we could think about a display in the status bar like "you still have items in closed groups". Maik

That why I was suggesting to override the flag to display a consistent result of a search. Now the message "you still have items in closed groups" is for me just a workaround. Frederic
You can't just start from your point of view. There are users who want to "hide" the original/unedited image and also don't want it to appear in a search. Maik
