Does Thunar show thumbnails for raw files?
good question
I know Dolphin does that is why I use KDE Plasma.

just checked. Thunar does show my ORF’s thumbs.
For now, XFCE is included because it is the default desktop environment for MX.
I don’t think there will be KDE versons because KDE does not properly support color management with multiple screens. Otherwise I like KDE, too. Great if you have 1 screen.
But you can make a KDE respin!
I wish… but I don’t think I will ever find time for that.
I am watching this distro:

They support atomic upgrades and admire appimages . Maybe one day I will switch…

Graphics software on Linux is very fluid and I feel it important to have access to git updates rather than relying on the distribution versions.
For that reason I have ruled-out MX Linux
I don’t see the benefit from special purpose distributions. I think a better concept is to choose a good big distribution, that cares about security, package management, hardware support and all the other boring and hard stuff. If you now have problems with packages or missing packages then help to fix this problems. This improves the situation for more people with less work.

Well this is what I can do now. I do not know how to make packages for Debian e.g. (I wish there was a good new deb of Digikam). I cannot even even compile properly, not to speak of fixing source code. I am not a programmer or computer scientist.
I do not know how to make packages for Debian e.g.
I think here is a good starting point:

I wish there was a good new deb of Digikam
Contact the maintainer/uploaders of the package, you can find them here:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/digikam

You don’t need to, for creating packages. More important are your communication skills to talk with the developers.
Ubuntu Studio brought me to the open source photo editing world. I don’t use it anymore but it was a good starting point. So I guess it does make sense having photo processing oriented distros. But for sure, maintaining packages, e.g. up to date digikam .deb or appimages (if possible) helps even more. One can also contribute via maintaining documentation or via writing code but that requires more skills and takes more time.

Interesting.
Is it a Live iso?
yes
and how do I extract two files?
EDIT: The point/issue is this:
you need to download all the files and open the nr1 - it is a splitted archive. all will be opened at once then
ok. I think you are trying to download today’s snapshot - all the part-archives are not uploaded yet. try the earlier one or wait for the rest (there are 8 part-archives)
Yeah, that’s what happened 
I downloaded the prior versions and was able to extract the iso. Thanks!
well, I am curious - as I wrote - I was able to start it in vmware. no other tests yet.
I guess so far it is just something like a sketch?
I’m writing this from your distro running on a usb stick, no issues so far. Congratulations!
Not sure if applies, but considering it is running from a USB stick I’d expect it to be slower than it is.
actually, it is running faster than the main OS, which is Ubuntu 18.04.
As for the installed apps, Darktable 2.6 (good), Gimp 2.10 + gmic (good), and others that I don’t know. Missing PhotoFlow and Rawtherapee.
Hummm… should I migrate from my Ubuntu 18.04? 
… now I really got thinking…
Rawtherapee is in /home/demo/Downloads - it is an appimage
MX is a great distro. Based on Debian but witha new kernel, therefore great hardware support.
And it has those really great remastering and backup/snapshot tools… I think you can even use the live version on a pendrive, there is also that persistence tool…
