Hi all.

I would like to suggest another method for the drag filenames to other 
applications.  I have read through all the bugs outstanding on the issue of 
images not saved etc, and on the fly-file creation, but I was wondering if you 
could do it another way.

1) With a key combination, say Super+C - dim out all those which have 
alterations.  For me personally, this would be almost zero as I use Shotwell 
really for video files and tagging all my own stuff.  In this mode, the CTRL 
click of files could build up an array of filenames, which could then be 
dragged into Kdenlive or similar.  Do not allow dimmed out files to be added.  
Simplez.

2) Alternatively, a new folder or similar called "Copy by Filenames".  By 
placing/dragging files into this, anything moved out of here would be by 
filename only - although again you need to consider altered images (perhaps you 
auto create the files tmp style if the image has changes and is dragged into 
this special folder).

I think 1 is better and probably far simpler, just a thought.

I really love Shotwell, and intend to use it heavily in my creation flow, but 
this one little change (with huge side-effects I know) would so so help in 
everything.

Thanks,

Mike
