Hi,
I have a  digital camera using Aptina sensor, with which I take images in raw
format used by Aptina. It's raw file format is 16bit per color channel, 'GRBG'
mode with file extension is *.raw. 
This format is very much different that the usual *.NEF, *.CR2, *.SRF,.. raw
formats of popular camera manufacturers.
It has No headers or any other metadata, just plain raw bayer samples. It does
not specify any information about image width, image height, pixel width,etc.
(I have attached one Raw image file of this format)
When I try to use the Tool-> Raw Batch converter, or DNG converter on this raw
file and try to add this *.raw file that I have, it says Camera:Cannot identify
Raw Image
and hence no conversion is possible on this file.
It would help if Digikam can add support for this *.raw format.It can ask the
user to enter image width,height,bits per pixel for this format and then
interpret it accordingly.
Will it be possible to expect support for this type of raw image format?

thanks,
-AD.

Reproducible: Always


Actual Results:  
Camera:Cannot identify Raw Image 

Expected Results:  
Would be good if Digikam recognize this format and allow me to convert it to
DNG or some other format.
