Re: [Gimp-developer] Darktable plug-in in GIMP

[Carmelo DrRaw <aferrero1975 gmail com>]

This issue is easily handled by other RAW loading plug-ins by intercepting the input files with .tif or .tiff 
extension and running the normal GIMP loading procedure in such cases.

Here is an example from the PhotoFlow plug-in, which was originally derived from UFraw:
