Re: Current plan for RAW integration into f-spot?

[Stephane Delcroix <stephane delcroix org>]

Hi Josh,

Here's my current plans for a better raw support in f-spot:
- support r+j a import time (same functionality as the "Merge Raw"
extension)
- extend the "Develop in UFraw" extension for batch processing
- keep relying on UFraw for raw->jpg conversion

There's not a lot to do on the bug you mentioned, except catching and
ignoring silently the exception. There's no safe way to edit (or modify)
a raw file, and that file is your precious orignal...

AFAIK, all the cameras with Raw capability these days also have a
orientation sensor so the images should be well oriented in f-spot. If
I'm wrong about this, we could think of something else to display the
images, but forget about even touching the file...

regards
