[Shotwell] Undo enhancement

[Jim Nelson]

Hello,

Shotwell shouldn't be creating any _1 files if you simply Enhance the
photo.  Shotwell will only generate an additional backing file if you choose
Photos -> Edit with External Editor, and then the appended string is
"_modified".

Is it possible these files were from an earlier program?  If you open the
directory the photo is in in Nautilus and Enhance it, do you see the _1 file
created?

Finally, if you choose View -> Titles, do you see any of the _1 files in
Shotwell's library?
