gThumb should be built with libopenraw. libopenraw provides very fast thumbnailing of RAW photos. If libopenraw is not present, gThumb can also use dcraw. However dcraw is extremely slow (~15 seconds to thumbnail an image). libopenraw is maintained by Hubert Figuiere, who is one of the libgphoto2 developers. See http://libopenraw.freedesktop.org/wiki. Ubuntu is adding libopenraw. - Mike (a gThumb developer)
Although it's far from obvious, all Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not "test#". Moving this, so it doesn't get lost. This has been a bulk message. We return you now to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress.
Just voting for this - hope it is not late to include this in Fedora 7. This provides a much better experience with RAW photos (that's what all serious photographers use).
I just submitted libopenraw for review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238373 I recompiled gthumb with support for libopenraw, and I must say that I was impressed by the result! I hope that it will make it into Fedora, if not I will just have to keep a personal version of it...
