This plugin uses the stock Qt QImageIO capabilities to create thumbnails and to create the HTML descriptive attributes. QImageIO does not handle camera raw images and the plugin ends up using the "broken image" icon for all raw images, as well as producing descriptive attributes with "width x height" all set to "0 x 0". As a web browser doesn't know how to handle a raw image either, this makes the entire archive near unusable as there is no way to visualize the stored images.

(I do have a fix that uses kdcraw and Exiv to produce properly oriented thumbnails and correct descriptions but in order to get my head around the code, I ended up refactoring it. As this plugin has been slated for replacement by the Digikam developers since Digikam v 0.8.x, I didn't add the fix to this bug report as I don't know if there still interest in replacing the entire plug in code. I can try and isolate the changes from the refactored code if that's preferred).
