We at Yorba agree: this is a significant limitation in RAW+JPEG support in 0.11, but unfortunately there just wasn't time to make this work when importing from folders. As discussed on this thread this is potentially tricky, but we will address this somehow for 0.12:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/3977Now, I'll let you in on a little secret: due to a bug it actually *is* possible to import RAW+JPEG pairs in Shotwell 0.11 if you drag in files rather than folders:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4079I just discovered this this morning. I'm calling this a bug because we didn't implement this intentionally (as far as I know): it just happens to work. We might or might not change this for 0.11. But if this behavior is reliable (e.g. it won't lead to a crash) we might keep it in place.
Now, what if you have a hierarchy of folders with RAW+JPEG photos? Here's a hack that will enable you to import the RAW+JPEG pairs into Shotwell as of this moment:
1. Run gnome-search-tool ("Search for Files").
2. Select the top-level folder containing your photos.
3. Press Find.
4. In the search results, click the Name header to sort by name (which
will put all the folders at the top).
5. Select all the search results *except the folders*. 6. Drag them into Shotwell.Again, I make no guarantee that this will continue to work in 0.11 - it depends on whether we decide to fix this "bug". But as of this moment I can't see that its presence does any harm, and it does give this useful workaround until we actually implement #3977 in 0.12.
