           Summary: Possibility to extract JPEG previews from RAW files
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: knizek at volny.cz


Version:           1.0.0_beta4svn (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

It would be nice if digiKam can extract the ebmedded JPEG previews from RAW
files during import from the camera/card reader. Some RAW files can have more
embedded images, the import plugin should allow the user to select which one to
extract.

Reasoning: Some cameras (Canon EOS 300D, 5D Mark II, ...) store a full
resolution JPEG image in the CR2 RAW file. Instead of "developing" from RAW
file again, it is often sufficient to use this JPEG preview as a final image.

FYI, exiv2 command line to extract the second embedded JPEG would be:

$ exiv2 extract -ep2 image.cr2

I can provide CR2 files for testing.
