Somthing along the process of of setting up all of my photography applications seems to have at least alleviated this problem. I just queried repeatedly a canon CR2 raw properties and the Nautilus did not hang. There may be a work around available. I did following things that directly have affected the handling of raw files.
1. To solve the image viewer issue #967471 I renamed a file (can not remember the exact type) to .CR2 and changed the default application for Canon raw files to Shotwell. This way I was able to get the properties dialogue open. 2. Shot well did not work as I wanted so I installed Geeqie. At this point I tried changing the default application for CR2 files again and now I was able to access the file properties dialoque. I may be wrong but I suspect that the Geeqie installed exiv2 library which enabled the raw file properties querying. I must point out that 1 and 2 are temporarly separated and I have installed many other things also during this intervall. Other softwares that may have something to do with this are 1. Libraw 0.13.8 (Compiled manually to the system) 2. Luminance HDR 2.0.2 (Compiled manually to the system, 3. sudo ldconfig was run to configure libraw location for Luminance HDR. 4. Photivo 5. Rawstudio 6. Ufraw Could someone affected by the bug try installing Geeqie and comment if it helps? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1043614 Title: Nautilus hangs on viewing .dng file properties Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Nautilus hangs each time I intend to view / change the properties of a .DNG file (raw camera data).
