How to enable Nautilus thumbnails for RW2 format

[GreaterCore]

I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04 and is stuck in enabling RW2 thumbnails under Nautilus. I have successfully installed "ufraw" and "gimp-ufraw" packages. They are tested to be working.

Any ideas on how to get the thumbnails out when exploring a directory? The icon appears like a black screen at the moment. Any help is greatly appreciated.

try installing the libopenrawgnome1 package:

sudo apt-get install libopenrawgnome1

Thanks to Leppie who offered help.

I got it to work by using

rm ~/.thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory/*

The code above deletes off all the references to failed thumbnail generation and enables Nautilus to generate them. I have previously installed and configured the system to display RW2 thumbnails, but it is not retroactive thus requiring the deletion of the said references.

I will be closing this thread once I managed to figure out exactly what packages are to be installed and what files to tweak before deleting the failed thumbnails.

Could you explain how you configured it? It would be handy if I could see thumbs of .rw2 files too and have failed to make it work so far (although I haven't tried very hard!)
