The problem I am seeing is that about 90% of them import correctly,
but the remainder are not seen as a single image, but rather
separately. I also note that it creates xxx_cr2_shotwell.jpg for
some of these.
The *_shotwell.jpg files are JPGs developed from RAW photos by Shotwell
itself. These will be generated the first time you open the image.
I explicitly set the RAW developer to "camera", expecting Shotwell to
just use the JPG files and not create anything on its own. I think it's
part of the same problem, in that Shotwell does not recognize that many
of the JPEGs are associated to the CR2s.
I was reading up online, and came to the conclusion that it might be
because Shotwell does (or used to?) need exactly the same timestamp
on the RAW and JPEG file. Some of them are off by a number of
seconds on the file timestamp. Not sure, though.
I don't believe the file timestamps are taken into account (I could be
wrong) but note that the raw and jpeg files must be the same folder and
have the same basename to be associated, i.e. ABC.raw and ABC.jpg will
be paired, whereas ABC.raw and DEF.jpg will not be.
There must be something, though. Each and every one of the JPG files has
a CR2 associated with it, in the form ABC.cr2 and ABC.jpg. The mystery
is why Shotwell is not picking up on some of these, though it is on the
vast majority.
So, there is something in the pairing formula that is not quite right.
