Description Erhard Schultchen 2007-06-25 12:53:16 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

This is a sibling of Bug #141877. 
KPA should treat .pef files as RAW, allowing them to be processed using dcraw (DCRaw supports PEF). PEF is a tiff-based raw format used on PENTAX DSLRs.

I guess adding an appropriate line to ImageManager/RawImageDecoder.cpp might fix this wish.
Comment 1 Erhard Schultchen 2007-06-25 12:58:24 UTC 
P.S.: Feel free to request sample files. Like in the other bug report, these take about 10 MB each.
Comment 2 Jan Kundrát 2007-06-25 13:02:08 UTC 
Yeah, I'd like to verify that the dcraw version which is bundled with KPA supports these files before adding that line.
Comment 3 Erhard Schultchen 2007-06-25 14:56:20 UTC 
I'll upload some samples either this evening or tomorrow morning.
By now I had a closer look, and the dcraw version MIGHT match.
As I said, PEF is used by all Pentax DSLRs, and dcraw 8.41, which seems to be bundled with the current kipi plugin, supports all but the most recent one (ist.*, K1[10]0D).

However, according to http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/RCS/dcraw.c,v my camera (K10D) is only supported as of dcraw 8.45. You think there are chances in getting a more recent dcraw into the kipi package? Preferably, before KDE4 :)
Comment 4 Erhard Schultchen 2007-06-25 19:02:32 UTC 
A sample file is available at
http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/erhard.schultchen/_pics/imgp0133.pef
(11748038 bytes, yuk!). The current debian/sid dcraw (8.39) won't decode,
ufraw 0.11 works.
