Hi Lucas,

thanks for your answer. #4040 could be fine for that purpose. To be more
precise, I don't need to combine/separate RAW+JPEGs day-to-day but rather
want to fix my photo database as soon as the recent RAW+JPEG fixes are in
the new stable version of shotwell.

I face the situation, where I have already imported RAW+JPEGs, where the
RAW is paired with the _embedded or the _shotwell development. On file
system it looks something like:

P0001.ORF
P0001_ORF.jpg (which was originally P0001.JPG)
P0001_embedded.jpg
P0001_shotwell.jpg

Sometimes the Camera sister JPG appears beside the RAW inside shotwell,
sometimes not. I can investigate more on that later. But I think, a simple
tool would be great where I can point for the RAW file to a certain JPEG.
E.g. "Manuelly select developed JPG" or "Manually select Camera developed
JPEG". On the one hand I could use this to fix my db, on the other hand I
could use it to set a darktable or ufraw developed JPEG as the developed
version.

best
Moe
