Hello,

it seems the non-destructive editing only holds for short moments.

When I edited one picture and looked at the next,
I could not make the changes of the former picture
undone.

Also, when non-destructive editing is really possible with
shotwell, then saving the editing sequence, instead of the resulting picture.
With the save eediting sequence, the editing could be done on the fly
from the src pic and with the recipe/editing sequence.
And much space would be saved too, because only the editing recipe must be 
saved,
not the whole resulting filr (or files, if many).

So, the concept should be changed, otherwise the "non-destructive editing 
feature"
is not really offering, what it seems to offer.

Saving a resulting file should be done only explicitly by the user
(for example if the reulting file is needed as seperate entity,
e.,g. for mailing it to someone).
Otherwise the needed disk space is growing without need.

And with a saved editing recipe, this might be reused on other pictures too,
so for a bunch of files one can create such a recipe/workflow ONCE and apply 
often.
Even after a new start of shotwell, so it's then independent of the session.

Ciao,
   Oliver
