Hello, Shotwell shouldn't be creating any _1 files if you simply Enhance the photo. Shotwell will only generate an additional backing file if you choose Photos -> Edit with External Editor, and then the appended string is "_modified".
Is it possible these files were from an earlier program? If you open the directory the photo is in in Nautilus and Enhance it, do you see the _1 file created? Finally, if you choose View -> Titles, do you see any of the _1 files in Shotwell's library? -- Jim On Sun, Dec 12, 2010 at 11:26 AM, Chr. M. <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi!
