Do You have specific reason for camera jpg? For me, it's wasting of space - I need camera RAW and exported JPG. For the moment, I'm not yet decided about it, but sometimes it seems the camera generated jpg is better quality than the one generated by shotwell (my camera, that is). Yes, it is some space waste. Or usage :-)
If so, You do something very wrong/weird when exporting JPG from RAW in the computer...
Ie, the camera generates both XXXX.nef and XXXX.jpg. When shotwell imports them, it generates another jpg file. I think the comments are saved to the jpg file, but I'm not sure. It can not write to the .nef file.
Digikam does not see the comments or tags of these photos. I don't know yet why. It does see them if made on cameras that generate a single jpg file.
Neither does digikam notice that those 3 files are a single photo.
I don't think there is way for any other SW to get know the pictures belong together. How could it know? Shotwell does. It looks at the "root" of the name. And perhaps the jpg contains an exif field designating the name of the original, I don't know.
Could be... I mean this is not universal - other SW won't understand what some other did...
But sometimes it gets confused, yes, with the jpg generated by the camera, not with the ones generated by shotwell. In such cases I move the one from the camera to another directory out of its sight.
I keep RAW in special subfolder within each album and I don't care about it that much... -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/
