#38 Serious: Images can get lost

[Hendrik Friedel]

When tagging Images, *all* files are renamed to *_original, even those, where no corresponding trackpoint was found.
Example:
1.jpg --> has GPS Data
2.jpg --> has GPS Data
3.jpg --> NO GPS Data
4.jpg --> has GPS Data

When Tagged, without renaming (inplace, the result is:
1.jpg --> has GPS Data
1.jpg_original --> has GPS Data
2.jpg --> has GPS Data
2.jpg_original --> has GPS Data
3.jpg_original --> NO GPS Data
4.jpg --> has GPS Data
4.jpg_original --> has GPS Data

expected would be a 3.jpg, not a 3.jpg_original.
Now, if a user does not want to keep the *_original, and deletes them, it might happen, that he loses Images.

I think this is a very serious problem

My code-analysis confirmed what you observed, so I changed the code and I am building 1.68.15 which will be uploaded as soon as I can (but which will be automatically available as the 'Latest' version in webstart setup).

The new behaviour should be:
- Nothing done if no GPS position data.
- Previous behaviour if GPS position data.

Please confirm correct behaviour when you can.

I'll try to post another note here to confirm a release (in development version).

Solution made available in the development download section.
I performed a check on my system and it looks ok.
