[gthumb-list] simplifying the raw_files extension



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
