Feature Request - RAW Support for Pentax K100D/K110D

[Lefty de Vito]

Hello XnView (pierre)

here comes a feature request from the german Pentax community. I
don't know how the support of RAW files for cameras is implemented and
what future support for more types is planned, we would like to see the
support of RAW files from the now current Pentax K100D / K110D added
in a future version of XnView.

As far as we know, the only difference between *istDS and K100D RAW
files is the name used in the header. Some users report, that patching the
raw converter tool Raw Shooter Essentials 2006 was successful by only
overwriting the string used for *istDS/*istDL recognition.

I asked the guy who came up with the idea to upload a RAW file from his
K100D. He assured me that it will be available for a longe period of time.

If you are able to communicate in german, that wish is located in the
following thread in our forum (the posting from hasan of today August 24,
2006): http://forum.digitalfotonetz.de/viewtopic.php?t=23624

Thank you very much in advance.

best regards-Lefty

Someone just gave me the hint, that there is a XNView version 1.90 alpha
2 (unstable). That version (executable file date: 22 September 2006, size
1.425.408 Bytes) displays the K100D file correctly. Unfortunately I do not
have a K110D RAW file, but at soon as I get hold of one, I will cross
check that.

thank you very much -- Lefty
