These are the settings I tried (I presume the second backslash is put
there by the config file writer; it doesn't show up in the dialog).  All
of my filenames are lower case.

[FileVersionDetection]
autoStackNewFiles=true
copyFileComponent=
copyFileReplacementComponent=
detectModifiedFiles=true
modifiedFileComponent=_[0-9]{4}\\.(jpg|cr2|crw)
originalFileComponent=.cr2;.crw;.jpg

I'm attaching a screenshot with the manual snippet.
