Upgraded to 11.10 - No more raw thumbnails

**obZen** · October 20th, 2011

Hello
I fixed it changing in /usr/share/thumbnailers/raw.thumbnailer the %i for %u

The result:

Code:

[Thumbnailer Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-raw-thumbnailer -s %s %u %o
MimeType=image/x-3fr;image/x-adobe-dng;image/x-arw;image/x-bay;image/x-canon-cr2;image/x-canon-crw;image/x-cap;image/x-cr2;image/x-crw;image/x-dcr;image/x-dcraw;image/x-dcs;image/x-dng;image/x-drf;image/x-eip;image/x-erf;image/x-fff;image/x-fuji-raf;image/x-iiq;image/x-k25;image/x-kdc;image/x-mef;image/x-minolta-mrw;image/x-mos;image/x-mrw;image/x-nef;image/x-nikon-nef;image/x-nrw;image/x-olympus-orf;image/x-orf;image/x-panasonic-raw;image/x-pef;image/x-pentax-pef;image/x-ptx;image/x-pxn;image/x-r3d;image/x-raf;image/x-raw;image/x-rw2;image/x-rwl;image/x-rwz;image/x-sigma-x3f;image/x-sony-arw;image/x-sony-sr2;image/x-sony-srf;image/x-sr2;image/x-srf;image/x-x3f;

Thanks, that fixed, I didn't the raw.thumbnailer file in /usr/share/thumbnailers so just created the file and now it all works. I will paste this fix under the bug report so other finding the bug report can fix it.

If you wish to use ufraw thumbnailer (active development supports modern cameras)

replace the exec= line with

Code:

exec=/usr/bin/ufraw-batch --embedded-image --out-type=png --size=%s %u --overwrite --silent --output=%o

Oh insure you have ufraw,ufraw-batch installed

I have been using the following custom script to create raw thumbnails. It overlays text indicating the raw file type (ORF / NEF / CR2 etc.) over the thumbnail image so as to make it easy to distinguish between a jpeg image and a raw image. Particularly useful when shooting in raw + jpg mode, where one gets two identical thumbnails (one for raw and one for jpg) and distinguishing between them requires careful inspection of the extension. This script eliminates the need for such careful inspection.
The following script is located at /home/sarang/bin/my-raw-thumbnailer/my-raw-thumbnailer.bash

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# usage: my-raw-thumbnailer size inputfilename outputfilename

set -e

SIZE="$1";
INPUT="$2";
OUTPUT="$3";
RAW_STAMP="$(echo "$INPUT" | sed 's/.*\.//')";
RAW_STAMP="  ${RAW_STAMP^^}  ";

ufraw-batch --embedded-image --out-type=png --size="$SIZE" "$INPUT" --overwrite --silent --output=-| convert - -fill white -undercolor black -gravity SouthWest -pointsize 16 -font '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-droid/DroidSans-Bold.ttf' -annotate  +0+0 "${RAW_STAMP}" "$OUTPUT"

unset SIZE INPUT OUTPUT RAW_STAMP

exit 0

Also, /usr/share/thumbnailers/raw.thumbnailer has:

Code:

[Thumbnailer Entry]
Exec=/home/sarang/bin/my-raw-thumbnailer/my-raw-thumbnailer.bash %s %u %o
MimeType=image/x-3fr;image/x-adobe-dng;image/x-arw;image/x-bay;image/x-canon-cr2;image/x-canon-crw;image/x-cap;image/x-cr2;image/x-crw;image/x-dcr;image/x-dcraw;image/x-dcs;image/x-dng;image/x-drf;image/x-eip;image/x-erf;image/x-fff;image/x-fuji-raf;image/x-iiq;image/x-k25;image/x-kdc;image/x-mef;image/x-minolta-mrw;image/x-mos;image/x-mrw;image/x-nef;image/x-nikon-nef;image/x-nrw;image/x-olympus-orf;image/x-orf;image/x-panasonic-raw;image/x-pef;image/x-pentax-pef;image/x-ptx;image/x-pxn;image/x-r3d;image/x-raf;image/x-raw;image/x-rw2;image/x-rwl;image/x-rwz;image/x-sigma-x3f;image/x-sony-arw;image/x-sony-sr2;image/x-sony-srf;image/x-sr2;image/x-srf;image/x-x3f;

Sample output is attached.

What about 12.04? I had no luck with this method. After creating raw.thumbnailer as described above still have no thumbnails for Canon's cr2. Anybody had success with this on "Precise"?
