It's debatable whether this feature request is desirable in this form.
On the Shotwell mailing list, I posted a few weeks back asking where
Shotwell should store modified copies:

http://lists.yorba.org/pipermail/shotwell/2010-April/000283.html

A couple of users responsed and said that they did *not* want Shotwell
to touch their original files.

Currently, as you may know, Shotwell does not store modified copies of
photos anywhere (it simply applies any user edits to the master photo on
the fly each time it needs to display a photo).  We are considering
storing modified copies somewhere, however - this is
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1798 (which will probably not make 0.6,
however).  One compromise is to store modified copies in the same
directory as the original files with a suffix such as "(modified)".
This is what F-Spot does.  Would this be acceptable to you?
