For raw file previews, the Preview thumbnail generator used by the Dash
doesn't handle all types of raw files, so the lens is using the
"*_shotwell.jpg" file Shotwell generates in the same folder as the raw
file.  A file it generates only when the raw is double clicked in
Shotwell.

One way to fix it would be to use the largest available thumbnail (thumbs360/) 
in the Preview when the file is not supported, which is obviously quite hard to 
check, and could also introduce the need to maintain a hardcoded list of raw 
file extensions. 
Ideally, we could ask the Dash devs for a Unity method to check if an extension 
is supported in the Dash (results and previews).

I will file a Unity bug for this and raise the subject next week at UDS.
