I would be severely against having this in the main darktable codebase as a supported feature... It's horrible workaround... If we'd support Fuji files in any way, somebody needs to do the proper work in our code...

Very possibly something like this could be done on user-basis via Lua scripting in Darktable 1.4, but the emphasis would be on user-basis... > One great, yet not necessary, addition would be to have shown the > embeeded JPEGs of the imported but nor supported RAW files.

Since that would confuse people even further about whether we'd support those files or not... Against I'd like to point out, that the proper fix is to work out real support... not working around it...
