Absolutely agree.  Shotwell becomes virtually unusable if it insists on
cataloguing raw files.

I have to move them out of the directory, run Shotwell, and then move
them back. Highly inconvenient.

Please include a simple feature for ticking the files you want Shotwell
to include.

Title:
  Option to discard RAW files

Status in Shotwell:
  Unknown
Status in shotwell package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: shotwell

  Shotwell includes some previewing features for raw files which seem to work quite well. 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.

  I have shotwell Version: 0.8.0-1~maverick1

  Thanks !
