dear developers! please add 10bit raw image support to digikam for supporting mediatek'a android platform raw image importing. currently just irfanview is able to open these files, and the workflow could be quicker if we can ignore the windows log in/out procedure. heres a link, i made a few comments there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344723 thanks
digiKam already support 16 bits color depth image internally. Raw decoder is libraw shared lib. Please report this UPSTREAM problem to libraw team. Gilles Caulier
thanks, i was intredted in 10bits.
These files are now supported by LibRaw (master branch on Guthub)
Thanks Alex... I can close this file as FIXED well.. When is planed next libraw 0.17 ? Any new functionnalities/changes ? Gilles
i think you should let it open for a more few hours. we are still discussing and a detailed bugreport could be better.
file still available for discussions in FIXED status... Gilles Caulier
0.17 is planned after Photokina (and support for most announced cameras). So, October or so. From digiKam's point of view (open()/unpack()/dcraw_process()) nothing changed. There are a lot of internals changed, sure.
OK. Thanks Alex... Gilles
Dear Gilles, any ideas for using the support for mediatek devices? i can compile for my own, but compiling only libraw is not enough. can u share some links to the newest sources? thanks
libraw has extra packs including more demosaiciing algorithms. Look in libraw project for details : http://www.libraw.org/download
i compiled and installed libraw package, but digikam still shows 16.0. so libraw support mtk chipset (Alcatel OT-997D) but cant let it work. maybe i need to recompile libkdcraw instead of libraw?
Of course libkdcraw must be recompiled... Gilles Caulier
can u send me a link, that supports mtk chipset?
I don't know. This kind of support is typically implemented to libraw decoder not digiKam or libkdcraw. Ask to libraw team for details : http://www.libraw.org
Some MTK files are indeed supported. I'm not sure, that this support is complete. Unfortunately, these files do not contain any metadata, so the only way to detect file contents is file size. Alex Tutubalin, LibRaw team
Alex, i think its not a problem. I dont want to choose or autoselec files from a pack. Just decode a few ones. Since than: - i installed the 17Alpha4 - force removed the 16Stable - the program still uses the libraw_r.so.10 file, so renamed the libraw_r.so.13 but digikam still not accepts it.
You cannot use LibRaw 0.17 .so instead of 0.17 .so because ABI changed. You need to rebuild libkdcraw
Balázs, No need to re-open this file each time. This one is closed because your whish is not relevent directly to digiKam/libkdcraw, as RAW decoders are in Libraw. Alex is lead developper from libraw. He will guide you to solve your problem. Gilles Caulier
I do not know how to rebuild libkdcraw
okey than, i've got issues recompiling libkdcraw, some qt libs were missing. i hope that a stable release will avaliable soon.
