Apparently "photo management software that can build an index from a folder structure, _without_ writing to that folder structure" is too much to ask for on #LInux.

So far both Linux Mint's #Pix as well as #Shotwell have failed me, either by converting raw files to JPEGs and storing these next to the originals, or adding some XML files with their own metadata and stuff, or both.

*sigh*

Edit: yes I'm open to suggestions
