A further complications I see is that some of my photos are only in JPG and some are both RAW+JPG, and some are RAW only. This will continue as there are situations where I only shoot JPGs (e.g. tethered camera shooting events with portriat lighting with the primary output being 5x7 prints and I need to shoot as fast as possible), and I have scanned files. For JPGs where I have RAW files, I don't mind if only the RAW files are imported, but I don't think I can set up LR2 to only import a JPG if there is no corresponding RAW file name?
