Re: ufraw (and others) integration

Hi everyone,

I'm liking the way things are going with RAW processing recently, I
think I might be about to make a full switch back from digikam.

Just a couple of issues I've noticed, Pentax's .pef and .dng
extensions aren't in the IsRaw function so it won't shell out to
ufraw. (src/Imaging/ImageFile.cs line 218). I'm guessing there are
probably a few other ufraw supported RAW filetypes missing?

Also, I think raw.Uri should be escaped when shelling out to ufraw so
that if a picture name has special characters, or someone opts to not
copy files when importing the call to ufraw will still work.
(extensions/DevelopInUFraw/DevelopInUFRaw.cs, line 35 perhaps?)

The PEF RAW thumbnails are not displayed in the main browser, though
the DNG files are. From a quick look at the source it looks like this
is handled by the gnome libs, so I guess once I upgrade gnome it might
start working? It's interesting that they work fine in nautilus
though...

It'd be nice to have f-spot not block when calling ufraw with this
extension, so you could still look at your other photos while
developing to compare, but I guess that would be pretty tricky
currently.

Cheers,

Tim.
