Maybe I'm looking to better learn how to use the tools I have, or
maybe I'm making a Shotwell feature request. I'm not sure.

I'm trying to use Shotwell with Bibble. I love Shotwell's speed for
navigating my photos. I can tell that a lot of work went into
optimizing the checkerboard display. I'm willing to wait for
hierarchical tags and other promising features. But Shotwell is not a
sophisticated editor. I could be perfectly happy with it managing my
photos if it interacted well with external editors.

I don't know how other raw editors work, but to "edit" a file with
Bibble, Bibble just writes an .xmp file that sits next to the raw
file. There's no JPEG involved at all. I would love it if after
editing a file externally, Shotwell could recognize the updated .xmp
file and call Bibble to rerender the thumbnail and mimic.

I don't know how other raw editors do it, so I hope I'm not asking for
a lot of special case logic for Bibble. Maybe there's a way to do it
with plugins.

Since I have a paid copy of Bibble, I'm willing to do tests for you if
necessary.
