I plusify this ticket because I can't (really can't) use Shotwell if it works with our raws.

We have a folder with all our photos, classified as we want into our subfolders. And we configured Shotwell to follow this folder and import all new files, and update all modifications (with tags inside JPG).

This folder is sync (with btsync or other) with other computers, and with a server for backup.

Our Raws are in the same folder, same classification, etc. But Raws is for *develop photos* and it's OUR job to do that ! We absolutely don't want to have *automatic* ugly JPGs from our Raws, added to our folder and especially then : added to all sync computers !

We want to develop our photos ourselves, export the good ones in JPGs, and only them have to be imported into Shotwell to classify them. Not raws and their *false* JPGs.

Even if there was not the synchronization, we don't want to have false JPGs beside our Raws in our local computer (and yes, Raws must be sorted in the same folder, we don't want to have another folder with all the same classification, it's not usable and maintainable).

That's why we also want to disable Raw support in Shotwell in order to use it (and I want to use it…).
