The plug-in works great in importing NEF to GIMP, but now when I open some TIF files in GIMP, it uses the plug-in in the same fashion as if I was opening raw files in GIMP, i.e. launching darktable and upon exiting exporting the file to GIMP as 32-bit EXR. This happens with some TIF files but not with all TIF files. Is it supposed to do that?
No, it is not. The problem is that most raw formats are TIFF files with some extra data. For CR2 that's not a big problem, there is a way to recognize them (Canon was clever enough to have a unique magic for their files), other formats however can't be reliably distinguished from TIFFs. NEF is one of those. So right now the code wrongly assumes that your TIFF is a NEF and sends it to darktable. Until that is fixed you have to manually select the TIFF loader in the lower left hand corner of the open dialog.
I do remember having trouble opening some TIF files in GIMP before, I think some older TIF files with many Photoshop layers. This might actually work better through Darktable, anyway :-)
Happy coincidence. Maybe you can provide a sample file to bugzilla so someone can have a look at properly supporting them in GIMP.
Thanks, Mika
