Expanding location view in a graphical map view.

Hello, I think you are doing a great job as Lap is so feature-packed for a free project, it is simply amazing. It may be the closest thing to Apple Photos on Windows (I think, as I'm an Android user whose main software for working with photos on my phone is F-Stop). Still, one thing is missing for me. It is nice that Lap has this geolocation list, but could you please go a step further and allow photos to be displayed on the map? (Like globally, as from my understanding Lap only displays a single photo on a map at a given time). I provided some screenshots of how F-Stop handles this. As you can see, pictures are combined and split into location markers when looking at the map. Clicking on the marker opens all the pictures combined into that given location.

Thanks for the feedback!

This feature is definitely under consideration. Marker clustering itself is a well-established technique and isn't particularly difficult to implement. The bigger challenge is figuring out how to integrate it cleanly into the current app design.

Lap uses a three-pane layout: the left sidebar is for search and filtering, the center area displays the results, and the right panel shows details or provides actions for the selected items.

I haven't settled on the best way to fit this feature into that workflow yet. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I'd be happy to discuss them together.
