sidecar filename

[Maik Qualmann]

Constantly changing this option is not a good idea. It will result in sidecars 
being created in both file name variants. So you will already have 2 sidecars 
for some/many images. The initial scan will now find the other sidecars with 
the changed file date and will scan the file with the respective sidecars again.

We already have bug reports about either applying sidecars only to "real" RAW 
files or creating a way to define file types that should receive sidecars.

I tend to use sidecars only for "real" RAW files if the option for compatible 
file name sidecars is enabled.
