Lighttable: Add number of images in group near the group icon

Open jhergeth opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

When managing bracket shots or panorama sequences it is helpful to know how many images are in an existing group. For example bracketed shots, at least with my camera, come with an odd number of images. It would be nice, to be able to check that easily.

Describe the solution you'd like Display the number of images each group near the groups icon like this (red only choosen for this demonstration): image

Alternatives I dont see any.

Additional context None.

You already get this information by selecting the collapsed group

group-selected

The mouse-over tooltip on the group icon of each thumbnail gives the number of images in that group.

Thanks for the comments. Thats all correct, but my idea is that in the lightroom view, with one glance, I see the counts for each group. I am starting to use the autogroup lua-script. with that, as it only uses the time difference between shots to form groups, it often happens, that images are grouped which are shot in short sequence, but are not in a bracket.

Actually I am trying to find a way to easily identify images which are part of an HDR-bracket. The suggestion is just a way to make that easier.

May be a more intelligent autogroup script could solve the problem also. Something like:

  • images in short sequence
  • plus taken with different exposures
  • plus optionally, it has to be an odd number of images in the group

it often happens, that images are grouped which are shot in short sequence, but are not in a bracket.

But simply showing the number of images in a group will not make it possible to accurately determine whether these images are bracketed. Indeed, to solve your problem, the script needs to be modified.
