Shotwell ignores RAW (.RW2) files when fetching pictures from Panasonic Lumix

[Anders Wallenquist]

RAW files are left on the card after an import. When raw files are manually copied to a directory that Shotwell listens to, the files are recognized and added to the repository. At this time shotwell add these files as doubles, the JPEG file and the RAW-files as two seperate photographs and creates a new event at the same day.

I have tested Shotwell with Panasonic Lumix G3 and reading the SD-card directly.

Hi Anders,

Thank you for reporting this. I believe what you're experiencing is a problem that results from an interaction between some cameras and gPhoto, a common Linux library Shotwell uses to access digital cameras.

It looks like this bug has been filed and patched in libgphoto2. You can read more about that here:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3445503&group_id=8874&atid=108874

Please download the latest version of libgphoto2-2.4.12. That should resolve the issue. Otherwise, a common workaround for this problem is to simply insert your SD card directly into the computer.

Hello Anders,

As Laura wrote: your issue should have been fixed by libgphoto2-2.4.12, Precises packages 2.4.13. Could you confirm whether it indeed solves your problem? So this bug report can get closed.
Thanks in advance.
