[Shotwell] [Fwd: [ubuntu-uk] Problems with CR2 files from a Canon 60D]

[Bruno Girin]

Hi all,

Here's an email sent to the ubuntu-uk mailing list. It seems that the
Canon EOS 60D may be using a new version of the CR2 file format which
Shotwell (or presumably libraw) doesn't understand properly. Eye of
Gnome seems to get it right though. I believe the user is running Ubuntu
10.10 with stock Shotwell (0.7.1).

I'll ask the user for confirmation of the Shotwell version he uses and
see if he can provide the original CR2 file on a file sharing site. Any
other information you think I should ask for?

Cheers,

Bruno
