Hi guys,
I havent seen anything on redmine or launchpad to this, so i thought
that i'd first check that it wasnt a known bug. I know that Shotwell
doesn't handle RAW's particularly well at present, and that is fine, but
i just noticed another discrepancy in the handling of them. When you
import plain RAW (not RAW+JPG pairs), in thumbnail form, the extended
information and the exposure, aperture etc. displays correctly, however
upon processing and first load of the image, shotwell loses the EXIF
data totally.
The date/time is still there but exposure, aperture, flash, focal length
etc is all gone as the extended information is getting the exif data
from the processed image, to which shotwell does not copy exif data to.
It doesn't matter if the developer is the camera or shotwell, it loses
the data in the developed image and, of course, in the RAW is still there.
If anyone who knows more about coding than i do needs some RAW's to play
with i am happy to dump a sample of some from different cameras at
different time periods on my web-space and post a link to the group if
need be.
Does this already have a ticket, because i couldn't see one, and if not
would you like me to create one?
Hopefully the issues with RAW can be sorted out, as this for me is the
only real downfall to the software - keep up the good work guys!\
Scott.
