[Digikam-devel] [Bug 205776] "Embedded preview loads full image size" does not only do what it says, confusing users

--- Comment #56 from DrSlony <bugs at seeitmyway.org> ---
I simply want to be able to make digiKam either use the embedded JPEG when I
click on a raw photo (fast, but misrepresents the real raw data), or to
generate a preview from the raw data (slow, but true to the raw data). In 2.5.0
I still can't do that - at least that's what I'm lead to believe, based on the
2-3 seconds it takes digiKam to show me a preview of a raw file after I click
on it despite having "Thumbnail click action > show embedded preview" selected.
I wrote about this specifically in bug 296651.

Some raw files have more than one embedded JPEG - at different resolutions.
Which one you choose to display is of less importance to me than the speed with
which I should be able to preview raw files, because as it is now, the 2-3
seconds is really annoying when sorting through 500 raw files when other
software like Geeqie manage to display that embedded JPEG in a fraction of a
second.
