Using default GIMP 2.9.3 updated a couple of days ago on Linux, and 
opening a CR2 file, the resulting image is the correct size, and only 
8-bits, so I'm assuming the raw file is being opened by UFRaw, yes?

Opening a NEF file using GIMP, the resulting image is just a 160px by 
120px thumbnail, though the file on disk is 17MB. So NEF doesn't seem to 
be working through the UFRaw plug-in.

I'm using UFRaw version 0.22, compiled with the GIMP plug-in, FWIW, and 
in case the UFRaw version makes a difference.

Some GEGL code suggests that there might be raw file support independent 
of UFRaw (rawload.c). Is this available through GIMP?
