[BUG] RW2 is unsupported

[MrTalon63]

The bug

From what I understand Immich uses imagemagick #2668 to handle RAW photos and while the library supposedly supports Panasonic DMC series (G7 included) the microservice errors out saying the image format is unsupported

[Nest] 7  - 08/01/2023, 4:42:41 AM   ERROR [JobService] Unable to run job handler: Error: Input file contains unsupported image format
[Nest] 7  - 08/01/2023, 4:42:41 AM   ERROR [JobService] Error: Input file contains unsupported image format
[Nest] 7  - 08/01/2023, 4:42:41 AM   ERROR [JobService] Object:

  "id": "6f42b1e4-4c12-4f7c-97c9-ba7c708ad6e8",

Reproduction steps

1. Change file extension to .RAW as .RW2 files do nothing when trying to upload
2. After upload photo thumbnail is replaced with a placeholder

[nixigaj]

Same issue for me here as well, adding support for this would be greatly appreciated. 😊

[NickHatBoecker]

Missing RW2 support is the only reason to keep my Adobe 2TB Cloud subscription. Please add support for RW2 🙏

[rossedlin]

I would happily donate to prioritise this. :)

[dataway]

This is the only thing preventing me from switching from photoprism

[mertalev]

Just to give an update, this is an upstream bug with libvips that I've let them know about. I'm happy to upgrade our version of libvips once it's fixed there.

[akoyaxd]

@mertalev thanks for the info!

Would you mind to share a link to the report / ticket?

[MrTalon63]

@akoyaxd It turned out to be yet another underlying library. Here's the link to the issue https://github.com/libvips/libvips/issues/3794

[akoyaxd]

Nice, looks like a pr with a fix is already opened! https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/pull/6967

Thanks for sharing!

[MrTalon63]

Looks like the upstream PR has been merged. Now we just need to wait for updates.

[rossedlin]

Amazing, I'll send a donation for this as it was key for me.
