Also, what version of Shotwell are you using? Some of the older versions had problems with duplicate detection.
Older versions of Shotwell would do duplicate detection by matching the JPEG's embedded thumbnail (which we no longer do). If your editor isn't stripping the thumbnail when it writes it out, that could cause a problem. -- Jim On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 9:07 AM, Adam Dingle <[email protected]> wrote: > On 03/19/2011 05:42 AM, Simon Jones wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I am wondering how shotwell detects duplicates? >> >> When I take a photo with my camera it saves both raw and jpg. >> >> I have opened a raw file in an external editor (ufraw), edited it, then >> saved the edit producing a jpg file of the edited photo.
