Camera profile file browser - bug or operator error?

bobm · March 28, 2018, 1:29pm

I’m not sure whether I’m missing something trivially obvious or this is a genuine issue.
I am running Windows 7, Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bits.
My camera profiles are stored at c:/ProgramData/Adobe/CameraRaw/CaneraProfiles
If in RT 5.4, under color management / input profile, if I attempt to browse to choose a custom profile, RT opens up a RT style file management window. The problem is that I can’t navigate to my camera profiles. The directory c:/ProgramData is simply not listed.
RT 5.0 and 5.1 exhibit the same behaviour. However, RT 5.2 and 5.3 open up a Windows style file management window that does show c:/ProgramData.
My work around is that I copied my camera profiles to c:/Program Files/RawTherapee/CameraRaw, which I can navigate to. But something is not right. Is the problem with me or RawTherapee?

That’s a bug. Thanks for spotting. I will post a fix later today.
Edit: Issue opened.

I thought it should be possible to show hidden files by right-clicking:

Is this broken on windows?

Alberto, you are right! But we should try to be consistent then. For example the lcp selection dialog shows hidden files by default on windows, while dcp/icp selection did not show them by default. That’s confusing…

I agree. IMHO, hidden files should be hidden by default everywhere

What directory would I right click on to see /ProgramData?

hmmm, the parent directory?

Sorry. I see it now. Thanks
