[Digikam-users] EXIF and RAW

[Paul Waldo]

Hi all,

I am using an older version of Digikam, version 0.8.2-rc1, as package with my 
Kubuntu distribution.  I have two questions:

- Is there any way to coerce digikam to read the EXIF information for the RAW 
files?  I have compiled the latest version of exiv2 and have that available, 
but no luck reading the EXIF with digikam.  I would prefer to hold off until 
the next release of Kubuntu to get a later version of digikam, so as to not 
have to try to compile digikam...

- When importing images from my CF card, only *.CRW files get transferred.  
None of the *.THM files generated by the camera get transferred.  Since these 
files are generated by the camera, I think of them as part of the "digital 
negative".  Are they not needed for anything?

Thanks in advance!

Paul
