Bug ID: 517155
Summary: Similarity matches (find duplicates) where items are
grouped returns images that may or may not be part of
the group
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 9.0.0

Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
It is difficult to determine group memberships best of times. There is no
visual indicator that helps to determine children of the parent in the group.
This is more problematic in a Find Duplicates context, where you may see a
thumbnail with '6' in the lower corner, and then another image or two as part
of the potential duplicate match. If the images presented are not dupicates-
just similar- its not at all clear if they are grouped already. if you open the
group within the duplicates results, it will not collapse on a re-click. And
again, its not clear if the expansion removes the other potential matches, or
if those are incorporated in the group already. We need some method to identify
which images are members of a group during metadata or name or duplicate
searches.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Find 4 similar images and group them
2. Run a Find Duplicates on the folder containing that group with a tolerance
low enough to return 1 duplicate match where the match is not a duplicate- just
very similar- as it expected in certain groups of images
3. Try to determine if that second displayed image is already a member of the
group
OBSERVED RESULT
No obvious way to determine group members.
EXPECTED RESULT
System should provide some indicate that the suggested duplicate is or isnt
already part of the group containing the potential match.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There are probably a number of ways to indicate group membership. One option
could just be a Group ID as a letter, so A1 o4 C3 as Group and index within the
group for matches like this. Unlikely an image is a member of multiple groups
(if that is even possible), but if so, this sort of approach would support
that. Cant just use '7' on the second thumbnail (as the index in the group
holding the other potential match), since that second thumbnail may not even be
grouped. But if the first was say A3 and the second was A17, it would be clear
that both are part of the same group. If the second has no code, or it is B3,
it would be clear it is either in the wrong group, or not grouped etc.
