DK feature suggestion revisited: group by file name

[NeiNei]

Hi there,

on the this screencast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ6g6PO9WTc there
is a patched DK version show which offers an additional grouping option:
"group by filenames". As far as I understand it is related to
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318357 and
https://plus.google.com/+SebastianBerthold/posts/2RNd1c9YksN . In the
context of this feature suggestion, there is a "geek feature" mentioned,
grouping by regex rules. This seems to be somehow over the top with
regards to user friendliness. As an alternative to that a much more
easier user interface in the way the batch tool manager rename function
works was suggested to overcome the regex hurdles.

However, I would like to ask the DK devs whether there are plans to add
(part of) the functionality of the suggested group by filname feature in
DK 5.4 or 5.5?

Thanks in advance,
NeiNei

Hi there,

I would like to ask again about this feature suggestion. Perhaps it is
already accepted? Does someone know more about it?

Thanks in advance,
NeiNei

Using RegEx into user interface, never. This is unintuive for basic user which do not know regex.

An alternative can be awrap around regex to manage pre-configured mime type to group.

In other words, using regex in source code is fine, but ths must be not visible in user interface.

Dear Gilles,

I fully agree that RegEx should not be an option in the user interface.

However, the choices:
() Group raw and jpeg image
() Group files using common modifiers (as received from a
fixed/adjustable list) generated by popular software
should be available.

In order to get more flexibility in the last option, one may implement
an advanced option, i.e. build group criteria with the mechanism
digikam`s batch tool manager rename functionality uses.

Thanks for your suggestion with bugzilla I will continue there,
NeiNei
