--- Comment #9 from Martin Kyral <sine.nom...@centrum.cz> ---
After some time I looked at the issue again and got some success: the breakage
by the kimageformats update was apparently caused by kimageformats somehow
affecting the formatHint value, when I hardcoded the format value to "jpeg" for
RAW images processed by the KDCraw pipeline, it works. However, I also needed
to backport the patch forcing QtRaw plugin in order to get into the KDCRaw
pipeline in the first place. With my rudimentary patch, the RAW preview looks
like it used to look: it is fast (loading an image in a split second) and it
shows the images as get by the camera. Once again: for most manufacturers, the
colour science is proprietary and it gets some tweaking if you want to demosaic
the raw data and get acceptable colours (getting the colours as if processed by
the camera/manufacturer's software is virtually impossible). 

With this progress, I'd like to ask if it's acceptable/manageable to have the
preferred RAW processing pipeline (QtRaw or KDCRaw) configurable by the user.
Now, IIUC the switch to KDCRaw pipeline would require recompiling QtImage with
QtRAw disabled.
