Thanks for that explenation Felix. And yes, raw-thumbnails are another buggy
thing e
With libopenraw.
I also just checked dcraw, it doesnt seem to have a gdx-pixbuf either. So I
guess the best solution is just as you said, a LibRAW loader for gdx-pixbuf.
Should I annoy the LibRAW developers with this or is this rather smth that
should come from the GNOME developers?
Kind regards !

Subject: Re: LibRaw instead of libopenraw... to finally fix RAW support after
10 years
Hi!
eog relies on gdk-pixbuf for image decoding and as such doesn't do
anything special to load RAW images.
libopenraw has (as far as I know) been the only RAW library so far to
ship its own plugin/loader for gdk-pixbuf.
By installing libopenraw's loader all applications using gdk-pixbuf
(like eog, nautilus, ...) were able to open RAW images.
That's why it was usually recommended to install by some distros.
So, what is actually needed here is a LibRAW loader for gdk-pixbuf to
replace libopenraw's.
No modifications to eog's code are necessary then. The added benefit
would be that the thumbnails in nautilus would also be generated by it.
Regards,
Felix
