Hello

I've had the same issue for at least two months too. I most often have
[nef,small camera jpeg, edits of the nef]. Very occasionnally (maybe once in
1000) one of them just disappears from the view (but not from the count) I
haven't tried to rebuild the db, just vaccuumed it, nothing changes.
However, changing exif data (at least the caption with exiv2 -c) "restores"
the jpg's view. I would not write to a nef file however. When I notice a
file fails showing, I put the rest of the pair/triple in a 'lost' folder
until they perhaps magically reappear :). Happened just once so far to a
jpg, have no idea why.

Same question then !

cheers,
brice.
