SUMMARY I want to suggest adaption to the group function. Hope they are not already possible and a lack of my knowledge. 1) It would be great, if there will be a register card like version register so that you can easily switch between images in a group in preview mode etc. 2) The default option toe prefer jpg over raw is fine. In case I have several jpgs it would be fine if I can select the image representing the group. 3) If I add a new face at one of the images, I would prefer to add it to all of the images. This seems only to work for tags but not the face position. 4) If I have a list of grouped images where one group is unfolded it would be nice if a small symbol indicates that they belong to a group. Otherwise there is some confusion to single images in my perspective. Thanks for your work!
Another addon: 5) In case groups are active it would be great that GPS coords can be added to all of the images in a group in one step. As there is a copy option, this is less important compared to 3) BG Mik

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. For a visual demonstration of these features in action, check out the screencast of digiKam 8.9.0: https://i.imgur.com/9QZ8kZw.mp4 Related: bug 512555, bug 381414, bug 392936, bug 401205 FIXED-IN: 8.9.0 M +4 -3 NEWS M +28 -0 core/app/items/delegate/itemdelegate.cpp M +8 -0 core/libs/widgets/itemview/itemviewdelegate.cpp M +1 -0 core/libs/widgets/itemview/itemviewdelegate.h https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/commit/245614fb1920996726a0cd59e49e5b64829f1937
