Suggestion: Add “Group by” feature for photos in a folder (based on EXIF, date, camera, location, etc.)

Post by qawesz »

I’d like to suggest adding a “Group by” feature in XnView MP for managing photos within a folder.

Currently, we can sort images by various criteria (such as date, camera model, etc.), but it would be very useful if we could also group them by certain EXIF or metadata fields — similar to what ACDSee offers.

For example:

Group photos by shooting date (e.g., one group per day or month)

Group by camera model or lens

Group by GPS coordinates (location)

Or other EXIF/metadata fields

This would make it much easier to browse and organize large photo collections based on shooting conditions or metadata.

Thank you for considering this feature — I believe many photographers and archivists would find it very helpful.
