Use grouped jpeg for lighttable thumbnail if embedded is to small?

Hi,
Your are not the only one who want this feature. But there’s many problem associated :

  • grouping may be used for other things than raw+jpeg (bracketing, pano, …) and dt has not real way to know for sure if we are in a “raw+jpeg” case or not.
  • that would become a mess if one want to edit the jpeg instead of the raw file (for ultra quick and dirty export, for example)
  • that will make even more prominent the newcomers “surprise” when they enter darkroom and see a quite different rendering.

Now I understand your need, I just say that we have not yet found a good way to solve it.
Maybe we can imagine a “very simple” way to quickly switch the group leader between raw and jpeg : one time for culling, and then another time for editing…
I know there’s a lua script that is doing that. Maybe you should have a try ?
