GSP supports any file type as a media object, but for some types, it doesn't know how to process them, so it treats them as a generic file. That would probably be the case with most or all RAW files from cameras.

If you email me a RAW image (or tell me where I can download it), I can do a test to see if I can easily make it readable in GSP. Specifically, I'll see if ImageMagick can recognize it, since there will be support for that utility in the upcoming 2.4 release. My email is roger*at*techinfosystems*dot*com

Hi,

Just wondering if you had made the cr2 files compatible?

Cheers

Nothing has changed since my last post, as I never received a CR2 image for testing. If you have one, send it to roger*at*techinfosystems*dot*com.

I gave the image to ImageMagick with the simple command line "convert lushphotos031.cr2 lush.jpg", but it threw the following error:

Code:
convert.exe: `%s' (%d) dcraw.exe -4 -w -O "C:/Windows/TEMP/magick-l2_XI4ff.ppm" "C:/Windows/TEMP/magick-D3bzjT0s" @ error/utility.c/SystemCommand/2094.
convert.exe: Delegate failed `dcraw.exe -4 -w -O "%u.ppm" "%i"' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1058.
convert.exe: unable to open image `C:/Windows/TEMP/magick-l2_XI4ff.ppm': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2588.
convert.exe: missing an image filename `C:\Dev\GSP\Dev-Main-2.5\Src\Website\App_Data\_Temp\2fd399d6-eb19-4434-bca9-f426d9207c7c.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3015.


I am not sure how to interpret the results. Either ImageMagick cannot handle CR2 or it requires a component I don't have installed on my PC. The second is possible because the full ImageMagick app includes many components I don't have - GSP only uses convert.exe and that is all I have.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to dig into this any deeper. If anyone has more insight, I am happy to learn more, especially if you think CR2 support can be added to GSP with minimal work.

Hi,

The only thing I can think of (after doing some googling) is to use ufraw instead of dcraw.
That is beyond my techincal skills!
