Individual Groups not behaving as expected

In the documentation for 12.10, it says this of the new Individual Groups option:

Instead of A-H you would have A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H

However when I group by Filename and turn on Individual Groups, I get a separate group for every single file rather than groups like A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H

How can I get a group for each first letter like this without creating a custom column?

The example in the manual could be better. The option creates a separate group for each distinct value in the column you're grouping by. It's intended for things like comments and tags.

Creating a custom column for what you want is easy:

function OnLetter(scriptColData)
{
	scriptColData.value = scriptColData.item.name.substr(0,1).toUpperCase();
}

FirstLetter.js.txt (918 Bytes)

Command to toggle grouping by that:

@toggle:if Set GROUPBY=scp:FirstLetter/Letter 
@if:Set GROUPBY=scp:FirstLetter/Letter 
Set GROUPBY=off 
@if:else
Set GROUPBY=scp:FirstLetter/Letter
