Hi Yorba team, The mimics folder filled with large JPEG files is also observed here using Shotwell 0.6.1 and importing pictures as links. The original files are mostly NEF raws (which also include JPEG thumbnails), stored in a specific directory created long before Shotwell was installed.
Hope you can dispose of the mimics folder altogether for less storage space and file creation time. That being said, Shotwell is already an excellent photo manager, fast and responsive (once the import is completed) with all the features I need. Best regards.
