according to their webpage the last update was 2008 -> http://www.xdp.it/cximage.htm with version 6.00 which we use.
But it could be that the format isn't supported yes.
But it could be that the format isn't supported yes.
Quote:CxImage 6.00 includes a new class (CxImageRAW) and a new library (LibDCR) to read RAW images from digital cameras; common file extension are: RAW, CRW, NEF, CR2, DNG, ORF, ARW, ERF, 3FR, DCR, X3F, MEF, RAF, MRW, PEF, SR2. [...]

So, the question remains, is it something in XBMC or in CXimage that is preventing XBMC from opening the CR2-files?
spiff Wrote:cximage atleast applies the white level.
Quote:in any case; some people wanted this, as obvious from the 4-5 trac tickets we just closed on the subject. move along.
hug0 Wrote:Interesting! didn't know that white level is saved in RAW. One benefit of taking RAW images is, that I do not have to care for the white level, becaus I do it afterwards. Maybe it is saved to preset some options in the processing tools? Ok, wrong forum for that.
Yup, see your point as "Grumpy Bastard Developer" ;-) My question was more for the 4-5 people that asked for the feature as I had the feeling they do not really understand how raw a RAW image is ;-)
Moving along...
Fire69 Wrote:As one of the people asking for this feature, I can tell you I know well enough how raw RAW-files are. Actually, it seems you don't know how "un-raw" they are, thanks to the embedded jpg-version of the photo
Quote:But even if this jpg-version was not embedded, why would they be too raw to show them in XBMC? If Lightroom can show them, why couldn't XBMC?
Sure, you miss out on all the editing you did in Lightroom, but I don't find that a big problem.
Quote:The simple reason I (and I guess the others) requested this feature is because the misses wants to watch the pictures I take from the kids on our TV. She doesn't want to go messing around with Lightroom as I do.
When you have people visiting, you just want to show them your pictures from your couch, not all cramped up behind your pc screen...

Quote:Which resolution has the embedded version? Anyways doesn't help for *me*, 'caus I do not want to care for the correct white balance (and saturation and contrast and and and) while shooting (which I had, if I wanted to show the embedded jpg version).
Quote:
Lightroom shows them so you can pick one and process it. E.g. I don't think it has a "dia show" option for the RAWs.
Quote:Hm, I never want to show RAWs as they are only half the truth. If it has to be quick, I would set my cam to jpg and choose the white ballance, contrast, and all the other settings I don't have to with RAW.
As long as I shoot RAW "Taking a picture" is for me: "shoot raw, got to software and convert the picture to a final jpg that can be shown". Same for analog times: Never showed anyone the negatives only because I didn't want to wait for paper prints.

Quote:Don't know what the embedded resolution is. I think the same as the RAW, but that's just a guess. I know for sure it's high enough to at least match the resolution of an FullHD-tv
Quote:*I* care about correct white balance and stuff too, but non-photographing people are already happy when the picture is in focus.
It's for showing them my pictures that I requested this feature.
Quote:You should go find your Lightroom manual (really quick!!)
Quote:I don't like having every picture twice, so I only have RAWs.
That's why I like this feature. Now other people can still see the pictures without me having to export every single one.
90% of my pictures are of my kids. I won't go mad when somebody sees those pictures without the white balance being adjusted.

All I get is a black screen (r20464).
I'll report it in Trac.
