           Summary: Raw images disappear after being exported
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Versioning
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: fredericg_99 at yahoo.fr


Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

When I open a raw image, process it, and then export it, the original image is
then hidden.
Since I use the "export" button, I expect the source to eventually appear in
the exported image history (it does), but also to stay as an image itself.
I think so because I like to keep raw files in separate directories. It is very
stressing to see images disappear one after the other from the raw directory!

Furthermore, if I want to try other raw processing options, the only way to
retrieve the original is to go the exported image's history, and open it.

I think this bug is linked to bug 276061, since defining more precise options
for raw importing will help.
I would vote for the following options when a raw is imported :
-export : saves an entirely new image, eventually with an history, but not
necessarily (what if I just want to export to an usb stick?), and does not hide
the source (raw)
-save as : saves the processed image as PNG/TIFF/JPEG... eventually in the same
folder (ask?), keep history and hide the source.
-no "save as new version" option, since it's the same as export, or make the
difference by recording the history, while it would be discarded when exporting

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
-open a raw image
-export it

Actual Results:  
The raw image disappears

Expected Results:  
The raw image should still be visible

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64
Compiler: gcc

Sorry for the bug flood... at least you know for sure when I'm using digikam...
:-)
