[Shotwell] RAW+JPEG pairs with the same name

[Gael Sentís Herrera]

Hi,

I'm experiencing some problems with RAW+JPEG pairs handling. The pairing 
when importing did seem to have different behaviors depending on the 
photos I added to the Shotwell library: for some of them it worked as 
expected (that is, a pair appears in Shotwell and the JPEG associated is 
displayed when opening the file), in other cases only the RAW file was 
imported.

I tried to trace back the origin of this and I think it has something to 
do with the names of the files. As many of my photos are named DSC_XXXX, 
it happened that I tried to import a RAW+JPEG pair with the same name as 
some other entry in the library. In this case a pair was not generated, 
but only the RAW was imported and the JPEG ignored. When displaying it, 
either Shotwell or Camera developers created an extra file 
(*_shotwell.jpg or *_embedded.jpg).

Then if I delete the recently imported RAW file from the library, change 
the names of both RAW and JPEG and import both again (drag and dropping 
or through 'Import from folder') a pair is created, and when displaying 
it the JPEG associated is used, as expected.

Storing your photos as DSC_XXXX is for sure not a good idea, but I 
reckon many users will have to deal with this problem.

Apart from this, there is also another annoying behavior I encountered 
while testing. To reproduce it:


1. Drag&drop a RAW and a JPEG. A pair is created.

2. Delete it from the library.

3. Try to import it again.


It will import only the RAW file, ignoring the JPEG. As I mentioned 
above, if you change the names of the files you'll be able to create a 
pair. But it seems that the new name has to be completely new, as if the 
names first used were banned.

Can anyone reproduce this?

Cheers,
Gael
