Shot answer: Shotwell cannot ignore RAW files, although there's a
long-standing bug to implement that:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/2623
Long answer: Shotwell doesn't presume to know how to develop ("print")
your RAW files. It has two developer options ("Shotwell", which uses
LibRaw to develop the files, and "Camera", which uses the JPEG file the
camera embeds in the RAW file). If you want to develop your own RAW
files, Shotwell can launch a RAW image processing app (like
RawTherapee) and let you tweak it.
Understand, Shotwell can't display a RAW file without using some kind
of JPEG file; processing a RAW file in real time is incredibly slow on
modern processors. Our recommendation is to use Camera developer to
organize your RAW photos, then use a RAW image processor to fine-tune
the ones you want to keep and share.

Raw files are like negatives. I only "print" (to jpg) a fraction of

raw images I shoot. It is absurd to suggest that Shotwell is
qualified to
print those raw files since it has no idea of the preprocessing I
want.
This has been asked before, but can Shotwell be made to ignore raw
files?
The answers before don't seem to suggest it can without external help.
I hope I am wrong.
