1 What is RAWThumbnail
RAWThumbnail is a ROX-Filer helper to generate thumbnails for the Digital RAW files coming from digital cameras. It needs the external applications dcraw (or ufraw or other RAW converters which install dcraw) to work. Basically, RAWThumbnail with dcraw extract the thumbnail embedded in the RAW file. RAWThumbnail takes also care of the orientation of the picture if the external application exiv2 is present. It needs also ROX-Filer (surprise ?) and the ROX-Lib2 library.
This is GPL free Software. See the COPYING file included.
Note: Versions 1.0.3 and before needed the exiv2 application only to work, but worked with Canon, Sony and Fuji RAW files only. Since version 1.1, RAWThumbnail needs dcraw, but works for almost all brand RAW files: Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Sigma, Leica, DNG, etc. Give it a try.
