Description Hamish Downer 2009-12-08 18:43:19 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Compiler:          gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) 4.4.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When I use DNG converter it produces DNG files which are not valid. The camera is a Canon EOS 300D producing .CRW format files. When I run DNGconverter from the command line no errors are reported. Using file it seems to be OK:

$ file CRW_4212.dng
CRW_4212.dng: TIFF image data, little-endian

but when I try to view it in Eye of Gnome (eog) I get the error message:

Could not load image 'CRW_4212.dng'.
Failed to load TIFF image: ColorMatrix1: Rational with zero denominator (num = 0)

I'm attaching a sample image in CRW format, and the resulting DNG file.

DNGconverter worked fine for me in Jaunty (which was also 64 bit). 

The karmic version of kipi-plugins is 0.7.0

A sample image (both the CRW and DNG versions) is attached to the launchpad version of the bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/digikam/+bug/493804

The DNG file is at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36551033/CRW_4212.dng

The CRW file is at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36551245/CRW_4212.CRW

I fixed some stuff in this plugin. Please test with kipi-plugins 0.9.0

I'm happy to report that the problem has been solved by kipi-plugins 0.9.0 - the DNG files are properly generated.
