DESCRIPTION

Changing a single-picture selection within folder with grouped JPG and NEF files halts the main thread for 10-15 seconds

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Select all files in a folder  (~1400 files, 21GB)
2. Right click -> Group -> Group Selected by Filename (resulting in ~700 groups since I shoot NEF+JPG)
3. Go to either preview or remain in thumbnails view, change selection with arrows 5-10 times

OBSERVED RESULT

DigiKam becomes unresponsive, the main thread goes to 100% CPU usage for 10-15 seconds

On any subsequent selection change the same happens -- rendering the experience unusable

EXPECTED RESULT

Works as if the files were not grouped

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
