Hi,the newest glycin added one additonal image loader for opening RAW image files.
The underlying rust crate needs libopenraw-dev 0.3. While RAW files are not that common enabling the RAW loader
should be done sooner or later. Since loupe is the default image viewer having RAW support would be great.
After my exams I can take a stab at getting libopenraw updated to 0.3 as QA upload. The only rdep is tumbler-plugins-extra, so I hope this won't be too much effort.
Getting loupe 48 in has priority though. I won't adopt the package as I already maintain a lot. best, werdahias
