When save photo keep old

[PhoenixLandPirate]

When you edit a photo it automatically saves over your old photo, this isn't desirable as sometimes you're editing just to make a profile picture, or you maybe testing some different stuff out and still want the original.

You can go back and delete the unedited photo if you want, but once its over written its gone.

Yes, the editing UI and behaviour need a refresh, atm is quite confusing

I play around a little with the gallery app and found that the app create a foulder .original where you can found the original picture.
But it only save sometimes the original picture, sometimes not...

I play a little more and found out what @PhoenixLandPirate discribed with issue #19
So if i save my modifications the app create a .original foulder. If i open my modified picture, i can restore the original photo with the revert button at the bottom of the screen.

So i think you can modify a picture and restore them as long as you don't delete the file in the .original folder

Should we treat this as an issue or can we close this issue? What do other people mean?

@Flohack74 do you think we can tag this as enhancement?

Proposition:

If you save a edit picture we store them with the actual date and time as filename and don't touch the original picture. Then you have always the original and the new file in the gallery.
