Group Function

[Uwe]

Hello,

 

Since the the activities (remove from catalog/delete from disc, Tagging, etc) don't work for all members of a group if the group is collapsed, there should be an action to explode/collapse all groups selected in the Thumbnail Window. Any information regarding this function?

 

The number of items shown in the status bar doesn't fit to the total number of items if they are member of a group in any case. That leads e.g. to the following situation:

0. 6907 items are assignd to the keyword "panorama". Some of the items are already grouped and the groups are collapsed.

1. I select this keyword in the Catalog Panel

2. In the status bar I see the total number 6907 of 155281 items but not the "files per page" information. The value in the preferences = 5000

 

3. On the right side of the status bar I can move to a second page (left and right arrow beside the "1") but this second page doesn't exist also the arrow at the end of the items in the Thumbnail Window doesn't exist. The reason is point 4

4. Now I select all items in the Thumbnail Window (CTRL-A) and get the information in the staus bar: 3971 selected. The other items seem to be member of the collapsed groups. In this case there is not second page as long as the total number of exploded items is smaller than 5001.

5. To assign new tags to the selected items I have to explode all groups - and so on

6. sometimes the "group information" - icon in the right upper corner of the thumbnail - gets lost as you can see in the screenshot. One has to press the "Refresh" button in the header bar of the Thumbnail Window to get it back.

7. There is the German translation in the status bar even if I used the English UI (see screenshots)
