Paolo and everyone,
The raw_files extension could be simplified a lot. Some suggestions:
1) Delete the HDR code. It supposedly converts files in a cache using
pfstools. However, I don't think it has ever worked in the 3.x series,
because image/x-hdr is not registered by
gth_main_register_image_loader_func_v.
2) Rely on libraw, and remove the dcraw fallback. I think libraw is
available for all major distros, so there is no point to the
caching/dcraw approach.
3) The only mime type that should be handled by the raw_files is
"image/x-dcraw". The other RAW types are all sub-types of this.
Also:
4) Any objection if I add "JPEG" and "RAW" filters? These would be handy
for the importer - for example:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732026, where the user wants
to ignore the *.bmp files.
Is it OK if I implement these changes, Paolo?
- Mike
