[Digikam-users] RAW file preview using embedded JPEG ?

[Vincent Tassy]

Ok, I looked at the code and made some tests to confirm what I thought I understood ...

The choice of using the embedded JPG or Half Size Raw Preview depends (between other things) on the screen resolution ...

It turns out my home 27" monitor is 2560x1440 and the Embedded JPG in the Canon S100 RAW files are 1600x1200. Digikam therefore displays the Half Size Raw Preview.

If I change my screen resolution to, say, 1920x1080, it displays the Embedded JPG !

Therefore, If I want to use those embedded JPG for preview, I need a smaller screen :D

Maybe this decision should be left to the user (a setting) instead of making an arbitrary decision ?
I tell you, looking at those 1600x1200 images on my screen is just fine for previewing/sorting/tagging/... the pictures ...

What do you think ? That would be a small change to make ...
