By installing libopenraw's loader all applications using gdk-pixbuf (like eog, nautilus, ...) were able to open RAW images. That's why it was usually recommended to install by some distros. So, what is actually needed here is a LibRAW loader for gdk-pixbuf to replace libopenraw's. No modifications to eog's code are necessary then. The added benefit would be that the thumbnails in nautilus would also be generated by it. Regards, Felix Am Sonntag, den 03.01.2016, 11:29 +0100 schrieb Le anonymous faker: > Nope this is not fixed.
