[Shotwell] Lumix lx5

[Lucas Beeler]

Hi David,

This is an issue with libgphoto, a standard Linux device access
library that Shotwell uses to communicate with digital cameras. For
higher-end cameras that shoot RAW photos, previews are sometimes hard
to come by, because there's not a single RAW format (i.e., there's
NEF, CR2, DNG, etc.). What's more, there are various ways of embedding
a preview image within a RAW file. So what's happening here is that
the current version of libgphoto doesn't understand the way your
Panasonic Lumix encodes preview thumbnails. You may be in luck,
however, because a new version of libgphoto has recently come out. The
bug ticket that tracks Shotwell's migration to the newer version of
libgphoto is here: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5553.
