[digiKam-users] Unable to display ARW files

[Milind Joshi]

I had renamed the files from the camera starting with α7. The non ASCII 
α seems to be the problem. I renamed the files with A7 and all is fine.

Have a lot to learn about the features of digiKam. Nice program. I am 
using the 6.4.0 portable Windows 10 64 bit version.
