Sorry, I do not understand your problem. Can you please explain a bit more? Preferably in English
Comment 2 zed556@gmail.com 2021-12-21 09:35:44 UTC
Hello !

Simply, I cannot see correctly raw files since the last update of gwenview.
They are very small and when I expand them, they pixellate too much.
Waiting, I use Nomacs.
Thank you for the response.

Despite recent updates, the problem of reading NEF raw files (Nikon) persists in my Gwenview. Lumix raw2 are well read.

Have a look at Bug 441698 that has the similar sounding:

> OBSERVED RESULT
> I get a very low-resolution Thumbnail image instead of the raw image.
> Also noticed that in the properties dialog gwenview shows Nikon NEF Raw image as the file type but TIFF image as the content.

Comment 12 zed556@gmail.com 2022-01-20 17:39:19 UTC
Thank you. The same for me. I specify that my gwenview can read raw .rw2 (Panasonic Lumix). It does not read correctly the .NEF of Nikon since its last big update at the end of the summer. Nomacs, Gthumb, for example, read my raw .NEF without any problem.
Comment 13 A Linux User 2025-08-21 00:17:15 UTC
Is this still an issue?
Comment 14 zed556@gmail.com 2025-08-21 09:58:41 UTC
Le problème existe toujours.
Cela dépend du poids du fichier.
Un NEF de 25 Mo va mettre longtemps à s'ouvrir.
Un raw2 de 15 Mo un peu moins longtemps.
Xnview,Digikam, Krita ou Nomac n'ont pas ce problème de lenteur.

Comment 16 zed556@gmail.com 2025-09-05 06:00:42 UTC
Hello, I reduced the resolution in my Nikon to have 15 MB raw files. The result is the same in Gwenview which takes too long to open them.
