Steffen, as I tried (perhaps unsuccessfully) to explain in a previous message, we do want to make it optional to create previews in the mimics folder. Of course, if there are no previews there then Shotwell must display *something* when you open a RAW photo. There are several choices here:
- display the JPEG file embedded in a RAW photo (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1771) - display the JPEG photo which comes in a RAW+JPEG pair (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1772) - simply display a blown-up thumbnail (which will look very blurry) and wait several seconds to display the decoded RAW image Ultimately I think the user should be in control and should be able to choose any of these if they want. Maybe the user should also be able to control the size of the preview files which Shotwell generates. If your monitor is 1920x1080, then you might want to generate previews only at that size, in which case preview files will be much smaller though when zooming into a photo you'll have to wait a few seconds for the RAW rendering to complete. None of this will happen for 0.7 (coming soon now!) but we will consider all of this as part of our feature planning for following releases. adam On 08/18/2010 12:15 AM, stesind wrote: > If it is not possible to change this behaviour, could you make it > optional to create previews in the mimics folder? > > Steffen > > > Am Dienstag, den 17.08.2010, 09:59 +0200 schrieb stesind: > >> I just saw that the previews in the mimics folder are names uniquely. >> >> > > _______________________________________________ > Shotwell mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell > > _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
