Hi there Till,
I have been hanging out for Canon CR3 support in Linux. I have several PC's both desktop and laptop, some running Mint and a VM running Ubuntu 22.04.
Today after installing and updating 22.04, I was still not seeing CR3 support for file natively, with them being shown as plain stream/octet files. I was able to correct this today by creating the required mime type xml and updating the mime DB, so CR3 files now have the correct mime type, however I still cannot enable thumbnails for them in the system!
CR2 files thumbnail fine, but not 3's, any idea why? It would be really good to be able to view the thumbnails in Nautilus, as opposed to having to open Dark Table every time I want to visually identify images.
I have gone through the usual process of adding the mime type to the thumbnailer file and deleting the thumbnail cache, but no luck still. I would really like to be able to resolve this.
If anyone has any suggestions regarding CR3 thumbnails, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Garry C.
I have a non-remediation suggestion; shoot small JPEG + RAW. The file names are concurrent. Store together on archive.
Thanks for the heads up about the mime; I haven't played with Ubu for personal use, yet. Been waiting out features like this before making the swap from MacOS. Sadly it's probably still not there yet as I'm looking for third party apps support for Linux 64, which isn't there yet.
I could just do my taxes the old fashion way, but that's getting harder these days... Things like TurboTax are a small deal, until they're not.
