identify not working #34

Closed Ndolam closed 1 year ago

Ndolam commented 1 year ago

I built tdelibkdcraw-14.1.0-x86_64-1 along with a bunch of otehr 14.1.0 packages. This produces a program /opt/trinity/bin/identify which runs but is not able to identify any of the image files I have asked it about.

Some people on the TDE users list indicate they don't have an identify from their "full install". So, I am wondering why this is in the Slackware build, especially in light of the fact that it doesn't seem to work for me. (Nor did the R14.0.13 version.)

Thoughts? Thanks.

That will be because the camera used to take the image isn't supported.
I found a raw Canon EOS D30 image online, and it displays whatever information is contained in that.

The source for identify states that it 'emulates dcraw -i', and 'dcraw -i' produces the same information.

libraw is used for TDE and dcraw is a command line decoder and they have slightly different supported cameras lists.
The supported cameras are listed in libraw_cxx.cpp and dcraw.c [extracted to CameraList].

There are a couple of posts in the developer mailing list for Nov '22 about upgrading libraw, but to date, nothing further.

Because I enabled its installation. The source code is included with libkdcraw and I thought it might be useful, along with the other 'sample' and 'test' programs.

Thanks Ray. Perhaps it is just an unfortunate (for me) coincidence that two such radically different (in overall capabilities) have the same name. Normally I put TDE's bin directory ahead of /usr/bin, but in this case that doesn't work out well. Easy enough to delete/rename/chmod the TDE identify.

Cheers.
