I see what you mean. That affects how the settings should be described in GUI.

Currently Digikam offers two choices for raw files:
1) full-size preview off: use embedded preview (if exists), limit preview size
to display size
2) full-size preview on: raw-decode preview, use full image size in preview

So if a raw file from some camera only contains a small preview, the user
simple switches full-size preview on (using raw decoding as a side effect).
However, if the raw file contains a full-size preview, there's no way to use it
full-sized.

With my suggestion, there would be three choices (these choices are a little
bit different than what I suggested before):
1) embedded preview off: raw-decode preview, use full image size in preview
2) embedded preview on & limit preview size off: use embedded preview (if
exists) using its native size
3) embedded preview on & limit preview size on: use embedded preview (if
exists), limit preview size to display size

Now raw files with full-sized embedded preview can be viewed properly. If some
raw file only contains tiny embedded preview, the user just switches embedded
preview off to use raw decoded preview.

What do you think?
