Re: LibRaw instead of libopenraw... to finally fix RAW support after 10 years

[Felix Riemann <friemann gnome org>]

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

Nope this is not fixed. I am on Arch Linux with latest GNOME + EOG and while I can open CR2 files they are displayed with the wrong colors (everything is green/pink). Also switching to the next/previous picture with the arrow keys won't work.

EOG uses the old, dead and not-developed-anymore libopenraw.
Why not use the active developed LibRaw instead?

------------------
Libraw:
Supports more than 800 digital camera/cellphone formats
Supports pretty much every RAW format.
Very active development (and that already for a long time)
www.libraw.org
------------------

It's time that after 10 years this bug gets finally fixed. Especially in a time where CR2/RAW is a commong file format which pretty much every other image viewer supports out-of-the-box already.

Thanks in advance.
