Hi there,
Just recently my database fried, and i needed to re-import my 44k+ file
library again. In doing so i realised that i have a whole stack of
files in the 'no event' folder that are shotwells/cameras developed
images or the modified jpegs from the previous library. Would it be
possible for shotwell to group these on import with the raw files that
they represent, just like the jpeg+RAW pairs that it currently does.
Also, a small bug because of this behaviour is that when you re-open the
file it creates a duplicate, and in some cases a triplicate (ie
DSC_0031_NEF_embedded_1.jpg, because the original is there). In this
case on mine, because i have shotwell set as the default developer (due
to the RAW orientation issues), when i change back to Camera, it leaves
the _shotwell in place, and still creates the _embedded_1 making
triplicates in the folder.
This is very, very annoying as it makes my library about 2/3 larger than
it needs to be.
so i guess my main question is, could shotwell be able to watch for the
correctly named files in the folders in which the raws are in and then
use them like they would normally? Otherwise, changing libraries would
be very annoying.
This may also have the side-effect of fixing some of the problems with
sharing libraries between computers also, as what is changed on one,
will carry to the other and what is processed on one will carry to the
other... And the other side-effect is when the RAW bugs are finally
fixed, shotwell will be backwards compatible with older library styles.
Thanks,
Scott.
