Description Romain Henriet 2011-02-22 20:41:35 UTC 
Version:           2.5 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

Gwenview is the main image viewer in KDE and it is not able to display raw images. Thus we have to use digikam or GTK apps like geeqie.

Reproducible: Always

This lack of functionality is _very_ annoying. At least the most common raw formats (NEF, CR2 - I do not know about the other formats, but I suppose it's similar) contain bundled jpeg preview at full resolution (high compression), which is exactly the way that GTK apps like gqview/geeqie use for displaying them (ie. there's no need to decode the raw data at all).

Hi,

I agree and would just like to add my vote to this topic. Basically in gwenview, we just want a very fast and basic demosaicing. This is for preview usage of skimming fastly through hundreds of raw photographs, and make a fist choice before opening the chosen images through a bigger and more feature-full raw image development software.

Actually, there is no need to do any demosaicing at all - cherrypicking of the embedded full-size jpeg would be sufficient  - and very fast.
