I personally am using now a script I wrote in python to download photos now, because shotwell is quite erratic, but I will help test when a new stable version will be available.

Other things that shotwell does "strange" with raw files:

* For the cameras where it can find raw files, when saving the files to disk the jpg name is mangled, stile "dsc001234_arw.jpg" (?)
* sometime (in the last version) a little-res, low quality "dsc001234_embedded.jpg" is saved too, adding clutter, and I have not found a way to stop it
* when viewing collection, only one miniature is shown, and there is no way to know if you have a raw or not short of opening the file manager
* when importing from a directory the behavior is different from when importing from a card --- files are not copied in the fist case. This is surprising because importing files from a, say, USB external drive gives the impression of having the photos in your collection but they disappear when you give back the key...

Hope this helps to have a better shotwell in the future. Thanks anyway for the work done so far.
