Do you mean Shotwell crashes, or that it becomes unresponsive?
My primary question is, How can I remove duplicate JPG files without
having Shotwell regenerate them?
You shouldn't have two such files (i.e. _shotwell.jpg and
_shotwell_1.jpg). We had prior problems with this in the past but
thought we'd cleared most of that up in 0.14.1
However, as long as your RAW Developer is set to "Shotwell" (in Edit ->
Preferences), Shotwell has to maintain those files. If you set your
RAW Developer to "Camera" it will use the RAW file's JPEG. If your
camera produces RAW+JPEG, they should be paired at import time and it
will use that one. Otherwise, Shotwell will extract the JPEG from the
RAW file (most cameras supply one) and write that to the filesystem.
As a secondary issue, do you think that 2 GB is insufficient for
Shotwell's needs when it comes to Updating the Library?
It all depends on the size of your library. How many photos are we
talking about?
