[Shotwell] Modified File Question

Hi David,

I take it by "process" you mean to develop the RAW images into JPEGs
using a RAW processing application like UFRaw. If that's the case,
you've got two options. First, check the documentation for your RAW
processing application and see if there's a way to configure it to
copy the original EXIF exposure date/time information from the RAW
file to the developed JPEG that it saves. This way, when the developed
JPEGs are imported into Shotwell, they'll all the same exposure date
and hence will all be grouped into the same event.

Another way to achieve something similar would be simply to import all
of the processed JPEGs shot on a single day into Shotwell in one
import operation. If you did this, you could then click "Last Import"
in the Shotwell sidebar and see a view of all of the photos brought
into Shotwell during the last import operation. All you'd need to do
then would be to select all the photos in that view and assign them a
particular tag.

Cheers,
Lucas
