You have every right to be confused. The situation is: ufraw is old and not updated - last release 2015. Apart from that, due to code changes (file-raw-placeholder) the plugin does not work with Gimp 2.9.6 An updated re-mix nufraw https://sourceforge.net/projects/nufraw/ is more recent but AFAIK there is no compiled-for-windows plugin there. This code also needs updating to work with Gimp 2.9.6 For Windows Gimp 2.9.6 from www.gimp.org it is a vanilla version with no'extras' Partha's Windows Gimp 2.9.6 standard edition does include a working nufraw that will import a RAW image into Gimp from Gimp's open dialogue. -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
