SUMMARY

When grouping a .NEF and a .jpg file, digiKam usually displays the jpg on top of the "stack", but in some cases it doesn't. Is there anything I can do about that? I want jpgs to always be above raw files.
Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2023-01-15 05:46:44 UTC
JPG files are not generally preferred, but the smaller file size is set as the leading item. The idea is that when previewing, faster loading of the image will allow for a quick preview.

I add an annotation in the documentation about this particularity with lead item from a group:

One more note, if you create the group manually, you can choose which image is the leader.
