Hi! thanks for this awesome program. I'd like to see support for raw images.

I did not see anywhere in the docs where support for this format is mentioned.

thanks again.

Thanks for your warm words, much appreciated!

I am currently rather busy with work but if I have spare time I am working on #61. I will test if I can get this working within the QT framework and support it in the new version. Would you mind adding a raw image in a comment here for testing purposes, as I don't have any myself?

I second this request. As a photographer I’d like to have a simple image viewer to look at images without much hassle.
Sample RAW files from the Sony A6300 are available at this site on the bottom half: http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/sony_a6300_review/sample_images/

If displaying RAW files directly is too much work, maybe it would be possible to display the embedded JPG preview? This also should be faster.

Closing as new features will only be implemented in the Qt port. The follow-up issue can be found here.
