DNG hdr images not recognised as raw by Darktable?

I get this strange behavior where Darktable doesn’t apply the defaults for scene linear workflow and I can’t use many modules like “hot pixels”, “chromatic aberrations” and a few others because Darktable says I’m not feeding it the raw image. I’m feeding it an hdr dng image creatied with 5 AEB images from a DJI Inspire 1_v2 drone. Shouldn’t it be recognised as raw?

This is a hdr raw image that I created a few years ago and I don’t have the original files anymore. And even worse thing is that I have thousands of images such as this one, not being recognised as raw.


Here’s the dng file:
DJI_0366-HDR.dng (54.0 MB)

Issue is tracked here:

I tried your dng in RawTherapee. It writes

deflate_dng_load_raw Z:\Eigene Bilder\DJI_0366-HDR.dng: demosaiced float dng files are not supported

in console, which basically means, your dng is not raw, but already demosaiced.

Really? It has been merged with lightroom. Is LR known to do that?

edit: Ah yes, it seems to be doing that with all images. It sucks to be me I guess.

Does hot pixels removal really need a raw file? Can’t it be applied on the image I provided?
