I plusify this ticket because I can't (really can't) use Shotwell if it works with our raws.
We have a folder with all our photos, classified as we want into our subfolders. And we configured Shotwell to follow this folder and import all new files, and update all modifications (with tags inside JPG). This folder is sync (with btsync or other) with other computers, and with a server for backup. Our Raws are in the same folder, same classification, etc. But Raws is for *develop photos* and it's OUR job to do that ! We absolutely don't want to have *automatic* ugly JPGs from our Raws, added to our folder and especially then : added to all sync computers ! We want to develop our photos ourselves, export the good ones in JPGs, and only them have to be imported into Shotwell to classify them. Not raws and their *false* JPGs. Even if there was not the synchronization, we don't want to have false JPGs beside our Raws in our local computer (and yes, Raws must be sorted in the same folder, we don't want to have another folder with all the same classification, it's not usable and maintainable). That's why we also want to disable Raw support in Shotwell in order to use it (and I want to use it…). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to shotwell in Ubuntu.

But it slows down the computer a lot to generate the mimics and eats a lot of disc space. I already found a thread on the subject on the mailing list, to discard the mimics folder : http://lists.yorba.org/pipermail/shotwell/2010-August/000825.html But on my computer, I always store my own jpeg files generated from my raw files like this : photos/RAW/photo1.nef photos/JPG/photo1.jpg I do not want to rely on the jpeg mimic or on any other embedded tool to generate the jpeg but have to use dedicated special tools, mainly for picture quality reasons. So, I always have a corresponding jpeg for all my raw files. In shotwell I can then see all the pictures twice (one for the raw, the other one for the jpeg). The best would be if shotwell could discard all raw files (menu option, filename filter via command line...). This would solve my issue and the issue reported on the mailing list above.
