Re: [Shotwell] Why does Export enforce file conversion?

I think that wasn't the question - the question was to export a number of files to a directory outside the library while keeping the original files intact. Think of it as versioning for your edits, so you can always revert to a previous version by looking at a different file, I'm guessing for

Aha. Well that's great, but the output jpeg has an added extension. Say if I edit P10001.RW2, the jpeg will be saved as P10001_lzn.jpg If I'm reading Adam's post properly, I'd be better off saving it as P10001.jpg and just re-import the directory? Personally I'd much prefer just importing the

I feel like a few things are being batted around here in this thread, but I'm still not sure what's being asked for. When you say you want Shotwell to export so files can be edited separately from their originals, do you mean by Shotwell or a different editor? First, Shotwell is a
