Moving library with RAW files causes Shotwell to re-create backing photos over and over again

Description
Hi,
I have two possibly related issues with shotwell:
- I moved my image library containing ~30.000 of RAW+JPEG pairs to a different external hard drive.
- Shotwell (mostly) correctly detected the old library in the new location and re-imported.
- However, additionally I have now for each pair a *shotwell.jpg or *embedded.jpg file.
- I tried deleting, but shotwell re-creates them.
- This leaves me with a) thousands of unwanted files b) shotwell ?sometimes? displays the version which is shotwell-developed i.e. sth completely different from the camera-development. ! :-( i.e. I cannot display the picture, I have taken, with shotwell.
- Settings > Raw-Developer is set to "camera"
- When I start shotwell, it runs for approx. one hour with 100% CPU
- during this time shotwell is responding slowly / it is not usable
I tried to solve these on my own, but I did not get anywhere with my extended internet searching and reading.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Even moving to a different software would be a major pain, as tags are not written to raw+jpg pairs ... of course I have loads of tags. ;-)
thanks a lot in advance
I hope that I gave all relevant information. However, if not I will gladly assist in any way in order to solve these issues.
cheers
