Hello,

I beleive I am seeing the same problem.  In this case, Digikam always is
presenting a raw preview even though the "show embedded preview" option is
selected.  I have seen this behaviour in the last few releases of digikam (2.8,
3.0).  I thought it was just me or how people were expecting digikam to work...

Interestingly, I was working on another laptop using the same version of
digikam (2.8) it it worked fine with the same file (canon 40D raw).  The
embedded JPG preview popped up fine (and labelled as such in the upper right
hand corner).  So I went back to my main system and checked and found I had
some libraries installed from a previously tested PPA.  It took awhile, but I
reverted all libraries back to the packages from the ubuntu repository.  This
did not seem to help the main system which kept on presenting raw previews,
regardless.

I then went to each system and generated Help->Components information and
copied to clipboard.  I diff'd the two files and they were identical.  Yet,
different behaviour persists.  Next, I closed miss-behaving digikam and moved
the Pictures folder and .kde/share/config/digikamrc to a temporary folder.  I
restarted digikam and performed a clean startup.  I copied the test file into
the Pictures folder and ..... it still shows the "Half Size Raw Preview", not
the embedded preview!  So it does not appear to be a configuration or database
issue.

One major difference.  The laptop is a 32 bit machine where the problem system
is a 64-bit system.  They both are running Kubuntu 12.10 with digikam 2.8. 

 DrSlony, is your system a 64 bit or a 32 bit?

Does anyone have an idea of what libraries I should double check?

Thank-you and best regards,

- Gerry
