First of all, I want to say thanks for working on F-Spot. It's quite nice to use, and I use it as my main photo manager on Linux.
The Linux.com article at http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/12/06/158220 (which says that F-Spot's raw handling is imperfect) reminded me of the time about a year ago when I decided to try out F-Spot's handling of .CRW files produced by my Canon Powershot G3. I found that raw files felt like "second-class citizens" in their handling: some of the functions I tried wouldn't work as well as others (trying the "Rotate Left" and "Rotate Right" buttons is the only thing I remember even foggily from that far back). Sorry that I can't turn this into an actually useful bugreport: I don't currently have any raw files to test out the latest version, so I don't even know if the raw handling has been improved in the latest version of F-Spot. What I wanted to ask, though, is: has anyone looked at the libopenraw project yet? Its express goal is to make raw handling easier by packaging the relevant code as a library rather than an external program. It's still in very early stages (it just released version 0.0.1), but it handles several file formats, and has the goal of allowing things dcraw can't do like metadata extraction. I figure it's worth taking a look at.
