does not show preview images for Nikon Raw files

[Hadmut Danisch]

Binary package hint: shotwell

Hi,

when reading Nikon (D300s) raw files from a memory card, shotwell does not show preview/thumbnail images. An strace reveals

7492 open("/media/TRANSCEND//DCIM/111D300S/DSC_6879.NEF", O_RDONLY) = 21
7492 fstat64(21, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=12209026, ...}) = 0

7492 write(7, "L 7492 2010-12-13 19:13:29 [WRN] ImportPage.vala:965: Unable to fetch metadata for /DCIM/111D300S/DSC_6879.NEF: [-1] Error retrieving file object for /DCIM/111D300S/DSC_6879.NEF: Unspezifizierter Fehler\n", 203) = 203

which shows that it is a problem with the exif reading libraries. ImportPage.vala:965 is

           try {
                metadata = GPhoto.load_metadata(spin_idle_context.context, camera, fulldir,
                    filename);
            } catch (Error err) {
                warning("Unable to fetch metadata for %s/%s: %s", fulldir, filename,
                    err.message);
            }
