Summary
This change adds camera serial number extraction from EXIF/XMP metadata and uses it for sequence building. Previously, images were grouped into sequences only by directory, device make/model, and dimensions. This could incorrectly group images from different physical cameras of the same model into the same sequence.
With this change, images from different camera bodies (identified by their unique serial numbers) are now correctly split into separate sequences, even if they have the same make/model.
