.cr3 thumbnails

[david]

I know this is not a Gimp question, but is it possible to display thumbnails for Canon .cr3 files in Ubuntu 20.04?

I have tried adding image/x-canon-cr3; to /usr/share/thumbnailers/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer.thumbnailer and deleted the thumbnails folder in .cache to no effect.

I can open .cr3 files in Filmulator, which I use for converting them. However, it is time consuming and frustrating to open each of a large series of the raw files in order to find the one I wish to work on.

Any help and advice much appreciated.

David.

Try Ubuntu 22.04?

At present I have Gimp 2.10.38 (PandaJim) with Python 2.7 and without the AppImage loader (not sure how I achieved that!)
All my plug-ins work and it is very stable.

I am reluctant to upgrade Ubuntu, particularly at the moment, when I have a large number of photographs to process.

The lack of thumbnails is an inconvenience. I am using the camera to view the embedded jpg's.

My no. 2 laptop is kubuntu 20.04 / Gimp 2.10.38 (PPA) / appimage python2 loader.  I am a bit old fashioned and use the nufraw gimp plugin for my old lumix raw files.

I have one sample .cr3 file and no thumbnail for that shows in Gimp -> Open (too recent for nufraw as well) but XnViewXP handles them. I use the appimage from their site.

Many thanks Rich. I have installed XnViewMP.
