Bug Description

I am using Shotwell to import and organize photos from my camera; these happen to be RW2 raw files from a Panasonic camera.

When I right-click on an image and choose "move to trash", then do "empty trash", I get choices:

This will remove the photo from your Shotwell library. Would you also like to move the file to your desktop trash? This action cannot be undone.
Cancel Only Remove Trash File.

If I choose Trash File, I get:
The photo or video cannot be moved to your desktop trash. Delete this file?
Keep Delete

I choose "Delete"... but it does not get removed from the filesystem.

The _shotwell.jpg proxy images do get removed, but not the RW2 files.

This affects me also on Ubuntu 12.10. My RAW files are those of Canon (.CR2)

@Jan:

The upstream ticket is still open. Unfortunately we weren't able to fix this problem in Shotwell 0.13.x. But rest assured: RAW file handling is a top priority for the upcoming Shotwell 0.14.
