I am having issues with the Stack and Unstack commands in Organizer.
1. I imported some files into Organizer. It offers to make Stacks. OK, choose some and click "Done".
2. in Organizer, find one of the stacks, choose, then see that all the commands in the Edit>Stack are grayed out. Nothing can take place.

Try this again, do not make any stacks, by clicking "Done"
1. Make a selection of 5 photos, use Edit>Stack>Stack Selected Photos
2. Photos are now stacked.
3. Attempt to unstack, using proper command under Edit>Stack. All commands are greyed out, no unstack occurs.

Is there a known bug here?? Or what have I missed?
I think my hardware system setup shows below.

I just tried that, and I get different results if I am in 'Detail view' or in 'adaptative view'. In the adaptative view (only images shown, no file name or date) the stack menu is greyed out like you. If I switch to 'adaptative view (from the view menu, Details - shortcut Ctrl D) then stack commands become available. I don't think it's a bug, but a tricky 'feature' not clearly explained in the organizer. Nothing related to your own setup.

Bottom line: learn the Ctrl D shortcut to get to the detail view which is more comfortable to deal with stacks.

Edit:

For your other question: I don't use the 'stack' option in the downloader. I only shoot raw, never raw + jpeg. Maybe someone who does has ideas?

I think I have been using the "adaptive" view for so long that I forgot or maybe never knew. Agreed, tricky and not obvious! Much appreciated! cjt
