Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-raw-thumbnailer

In the Hardy 2.0.1-0ubuntu5 gnome-raw-thumbnailer package, the gnome schema XML file only includes the image/x-dcraw mime type. However, /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml has unique mime types for each camera raw format. The freedesktop mime types override the /usr/share/mime/package/gnome-raw-thumbnailer.xml mime definition and the thumbnailer fails to trigger.

To fix this problem, the schema file /usr/share/gconf/schemas/gnome-raw-thumbnailer.schemas needs to be updated to include not only image/x-dcraw, but the other mime types defined in the freedesktop.org.xml file.

In my case, my camera generates .crw raw files. By changing the references in the schema file from image@x-dcraw to @x-canon-crw, the thumbnailer correctly triggers.

Same comment as Matthew regarding mime-type type="image/x-sony-arw"...

Same for Canon CR2. If the file is created with the .CR2 extension, the thumbnail is created automatically. If the file is created with the .cr2 extension (image/x-canon-cr2), no thumbnail.

I'm updating the schemas file based on the latest subclasses of x-dcraw that I could find in shared-mime info. While doing this, I found some unexpected filetypes.

shared-mime-info has information for 5 image formats that the .xml file in gnome-raw-thumbnailer lacks: .ang, .k25, .raw, .sr2, and .arw. These will now work for the first time.

shared-mime-info does not have information for these file types that are in the gnome-raw-thumbnailer .xml: .bay, .bmq, .cs1, .dc2, .fff, .mos, .raf, and .rdc. These are likely parts missing from shared-mime-info, so I'm opening a task against shared-mime-info.

Once these are added to shared-mime-info then gnome-raw-thumbnailer's schemas will need to be updated again to support them.

As an update, the above missing formats are still not in shared-mime-info as of 0.90, with the exception of .raf.
