The *_shotwell.jpg files are JPGs developed from RAW photos by Shotwell
itself. These will be generated the first time you open the image.

I don't believe the file timestamps are taken into account (I could be
wrong) but note that the raw and jpeg files must be the same folder and
have the same basename to be associated, i.e. ABC.raw and ABC.jpg will be
paired, whereas ABC.raw and DEF.jpg will not be.
