This doesn't solve your problem, but it might give you an idea of the trade-offs we're up against when working with RAW.
If you run Shotwell like this from the console: $ shotwell --no-mimicked-images This won't get rid of the mimics, but it tells Shotwell not to use them, and instead load all images straight from the RAW files. You might try running Shotwell like this for a while and put it through its paces. Even if you're not using every one of Shotwell's features, you'll see some slow-downs, especially if you double-click an image to view it. I should also note that we are not the first to operate this way. Other photo organizers that work with RAW use stand-in JPEGs like we do. -- Jim On Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 12:15 AM, stesind <[email protected]> wrote: > If it is not possible to change this behaviour, could you make it > optional to create previews in the mimics folder? > > Steffen > > > Am Dienstag, den 17.08.2010, 09:59 +0200 schrieb stesind: > > I just saw that the previews in the mimics folder are names uniquely. > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Shotwell mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell > _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
