I'm not saying that one of you is right or wrong but to me this looks like
another bump on the various ways people figure out to manage working with
multiple copies of same file / RAW files / panorama files / ... KPA supports
ignoring RAW files if they're named correctly, and supports regexps. I'm not
using either as they don't suit me so I end up having multiple copies of
same files in my directory tree (as I don't like to have my processed photos
in the same dir with the original and blah blah).

It'd be great if workflows for RAW processing, panoramas, (what else?) etc
etc would be fully thinked through so that KPA would provide the user a
simple, unified workflow regarding archiving photos, instead of making
people write their own hacks and sending patches to make KPA suit their
needs.

(Yes, KPA is a great tool to tag but relating to issues like these doesn't
work that well in my eyes)
