0.86: Join Images do not support Raw files

[m.Th.]

Steps:

0. Have in Tools | Settings | Formats | Read | Cammera Raw - Use {Embedded Preview}

1. Select two raw files (same happens with a bigger number of files). - tested with CR2, NEF and RW2 types.
2. Go to Create | Join Images - make sure that Output Size is UNchecked.
3. Press {Ok}.

Expected: The two images are aligned horizontally or vertically - depending on your chosen Layout - one next to another. The resulting image is cropped exactly on the border of the new combined image. Something like this:

Crop-of-JPEGs.jpg

Actual: The resulting image looks like this:

Crop-of-Raw.jpg

Note #0: The actual joined image has the background black. The gray background is XnView's.

Note #1: JPEGs (at least) work ok.

Note #2: Please see the difference between the reds of the images above which proves that Join Images engine loads raw data in the second case just that it is one-quarter of the original size. I would suggest to stick to the global setting: Use Embedded Preview.

O.k., thank you, I can also reproduce the problem. Issue 1265 is fixed in next version.
