It’s been a while since I last used geeqie, but I thought it supported raw viewing. Now when I open a folder with just Olympus ORF files it shows just the broken file icon. I seem to remember it worked before. Now it only works, if there’s also an attached jpeg. I’m running geeqie 1.2 from the ubuntu 15.10 repos. I’ll give an example file if someone wants to try it.
Same here!!! And it definitely did display the embedded JPEG previews from raw files, but now it prints this in the console:
libtiff-geeqie: Sorry, can not handle images with 12-bit samples.
I couldn’t find anything about that, and thought I was the only one suffering from that…
Off-topic, I did (try to) contact the developers, because the Geeqie website+bug tracker situation is miserable, offering to help sort that out to some degree. I hope they respond. The idea is for Geeqie to have a website that’s not dead and a bug tracker that’s easy to find and easy to use.
If you could send me an example raw file, I could check if it opens in Fedora (geeqie version 1.2 as well).
http://rawtherapee.com/shared/test_images/amsterdam.pef
http://rawtherapee.com/shared/test_images/blue_horse.nef
They should both show the full resolution embedded JPEG preview, but blue_horse.nef shows only a small thumbnail and amsterdam.pef shows nothing. This used to work correctly until some months ago.
I’m currently on geeqie-1.2.2-r2 (Gentoo). I downgraded to 1.2-r1 but the same problem there, so the cause must lie elsewhere. I’m also currently using media-libs/tiff-4.0.6 and media-gfx/exiv2-0.25-r2.
I tried downgrading to media-libs/tiff-4.0.3-r6 and media-gfx/exiv2-0.24-r1 and recompiling Geeqie but that didn’t help.
And here’s one from Olympus: http://filebin.net/x4f4ffyxhs/160302-042.ORF
Morgan’s files don’t work for me either. Interestingly enough, all three fail in a slightly different way.
Interesting thing, that Geeqie should load raw files, but why not DNG? Last year I had no trouble to open Nikon raw files in Geeqie while my Pentax DNGs were not opened 
that is a bummer.
Note that I never used ufraw with Geeqie, so my issue is that Geeqie used to show the embedded JPEG previews from raw files, but now it does not. I am not talking about showing the raw file’s ‘real contents’ which would require ufraw and demosaicing. I tried downgrading all the dependencies which seem relevant and no change, so I’m stumped.
If any of you have a Geeqie installation which does correctly show the full resolution JPEG previews of the raw files linked above, please provide the version numbers of Geeqie, libtiff, exiv2 and anything else that seems relevant.
I opened a ticket:
https://sourceforge.net/p/geeqie/bugs/231/
Same results here in Fedora 23, Geeqie version 1.2. All three fail in a different way.
Not sure where their bug tracker is, but code is here: http://www.geeqie.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=geeqie.git
And there was a commit 2 hours ago.
EDIT: seem they’re still using the source forge hosted email list.
No one is.
I’m trying to help them with that, and if they agree I could use everyone’s help.
https://sourceforge.net/p/geeqie/mailman/geeqie-devel/thread/4d9d73a4acc9faff94b76929775524b1%40londonlight.org/#msg34912210
I actually signed up for their email list to inquire about this problem, but Sourceforge and I don’t seem to get along. I’m on Manjaro and the problem surfaced about two months ago. Downgrading Geeqie to 1.2.1 as well as exiv2 to 0.25-1 fixed the viewing issue, but broke a whole slew of other things, so I was forced to upgrade again. Applying this patch to the AUR Geeqie-git build has worked for others, but I am apparently not smart enough to pull it off. Been using Nomacs until the package maintainer gets around to it or for the Geeqie team to fix it.
My Fuji RAF files open OK.
Both Morgans images and pitkatas image, open OK as well.
This in on Geeqie 1.2.2 running on Linux Lite.
What version fo exiv2 are you running?
MLC was that question aimed at me, if so, I do not know, if you explain how to find out, I will check.
Yes, it was for you, sorry. Not really familiar with Linux Lite, but I imagine you have a package manager GUI of some kind that will tell you if you type exiv2 in the search box. Barring that there is always the terminal: exiv2 --version
Sorry my brain had stopped last night, 30 hours without sleep coming back from holiday (too old)
Anyway, just checked in synaptic and the version is
0.2-1ubuntu2pmjde
Hope that helps
