Bug Description
Samsung had recently made the worst thing I could expect from them — they invented the new .SRW raw file format for their new NX series cameras. Proof & examples: http://
The problem is: nothing supports it currently, except for Samsung's branded raw processor for Windows® (Silkypix or something like that) and Adobe's Lightroom & DNG converter.
Rapid photo downloader doesn't download it too.
I was even more upset when I realized there's no option to specify my own file copy mask.
So my current workflow is
1) Converting the photos using DNG converter (it works flawlessly under wine) from memory card to my hard drive
2) Copying the JPEG and MP4 files to the same place manually.
I ask you to
1) Add SRW to your supported file masks.
2) Add an option to specify my own masks or extensions.
3) Add support for custom scripts ( #511646 ) so I could convert photos after copying.
I guess «convert raws to .dng» could be a great example of custom script and you could include it with RPD.

Thanks for your bug report. Rapid Photo Downloader depends on pyexiv2, which
in turns depends on exiv2. Exiv2 does not yet support Samsung's unique file
format. Until it does, there is not much I can do about it. You could file a
feature request with the exiv2 developers.
The program specifically excludes some extensions because the program will
not function without exiv2 supporting them. Changing this functionality is
possible -- but it would make the program even more complex than it already
is, and I think it is a bad idea.
I need help from other people in order to be able to develop plugin
functionality that would help with things like file conversion. Can you
help? You do not need to be a programmer. It would be very helpful for those
people who want to do other things too, like change file permissions, add
GPS tagging, etc.
