[Digikam-users] half size raw preview: not available for Canon CRW or CR2?

Sun Oct 2 11:51:41 BST 2011

Hi Rinus,

I have tested, many times, your approach but I can't reproduce your
behaviour (hope that I understood you correctly). It always says
"Embeded JPEG Preview", and the same size of the preview is shown.

Can you reproduce both in light table and in album view?

I have measured with kruler and I have these figures. All measures are
the width of the image.

My screen is 1366x768. The test image is in landscape, 3272x2178. (Canon SRAW1)

In album view the preview  measures around 1040 pixels. Which digiKam
says is 32% in zoom. This should give about 3250 pixels in 100%.
(Quite close)

In light table the preview measures around 638 pixels, which digiKam
says is 19% in zoom. This should give about 3358 pixels in 100%. (A
bit over)

I assume that the embedded preview isn't the same size, in pixels, as
the main image? Hence, I always see the main image as preview?

Another thing I have seen during these tests is that if I have enabled
the load full-sized images for the album view and the digiKam window
is maximised, I can't have the preview smaller than slightly bigger
than "fit to window". This means that there is a scroll bar to the
right that I can scroll a pixel or so. And if I manually types e.g.
20% zoom it immediately returns to 32%. But that might be another
problem...
