I got an svn account and checked the plugin into the kde svn repository. 
Please report bugs via bko from now on. Yes, the image viewer does not 
support raw files. Neither does the existing KIPI slideshow. At least the 
image viewer doesn't crash your computer anymore when trying to view raw 
files. I won't implement raw support since my cam only generates jpg. But 
maybe somebody can adopt the raw loader of digikam, shouldn't be too 
difficult.

I'm tempted to implement slideshow functionality, although there seems to be a 
slideshow added to digikam recently. Maybe I'll have a look at it first if it 
fits my needs
