P: Please stack RAW+JPEG files

Contrary to Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC doesn't automatically stack the two photos of a RAW+JPEG pair together. This creates quite a bit of clutter. Could you please implement this feature? Thank you.

Please support stacking in general as a superset of functionality that can be used to implement this request. My main use case is stacking bracketed shots, but the same functionality could be used to stack RAW+JPG.

No stacking, and no option to import only raw, or ignore jpegs, this really should be fundamental

Lightroom Classic isnt allowed by Adobe to sync RAW, so we have to use Lightroom CC to import if we want that. Yet it doesnt even have basic options for importing. I cant believe it still hasnt been added.

Forcing them to be treated separate images is horrendously dumb, and yet one more thing making the workflow more annoying.

I'm eager to switch from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom CC entirely (and in the process, pay Adobe a lot of money for perpetual cloud storage). This is the only issue blocking me.

Same here. Catalog migration ended up with raw only but sd card import results in duplicates both jpeg and raw.

You can do it by just typin "jpeg" or "orf" or whatever file extension you have in the filter box. Works quite ok.

This is basic functionality, a lot of photographers use this for quick jpg thumb sends before picking and editing raw.

I found that searching my recent import for .jpg allows me to quickly select and delete all of the JPEGs, e.g. if I only want the RAWs for that import. This of course doesn’t solve the problem if I want to keep both but not see both separately.

Can somebody please follow up on this issue?  Either enable users to import JPEG/RAW only, or at least enable filter by file-type so it can be easier to delete all JPEGs post-import.

I have to shoot RAW+JPEG because of WiFi/Smart device transfer requirements for JPEG files, but any time that I actually want to interact with photos in LR, it's almost always RAW.

In Lightroom Classic, the JPEGS were/are hidden as RAW + JPEG pairs.
