We've not received much interest in supporting BMP, which is why we've not implemented it. We do have a ticket to add support for it (as well as GIF) here: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2154 If you want to continue discussing that feature, that would be a good place to do it.
I now definitely think we should use the fallback scheme I described (and which you agree with). I've upped the priority for that ticket to high, and hopefully we can get this in for 0.8. -- Jim ** Bug watch added: trac.yorba.org/ #2154 http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2154 -- Date information not imported with jpg files of scanned negatives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/644125 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for Shotwell. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
