[Bug 852923] Re: gnome-raw-thumbnailer doesn't do anything

[Grzegorz G.]

AFAIK no backporting is required, the package just has to be rebuilt for
12.04. But it has to be approved for SRU (stable release update). It
should be possible, because it meets the criteria ("Bugs which represent
severe regressions from the previous release of Ubuntu. This includes
packages which are totally unusable, like being uninstallable or
crashing on startup. ")

We must do some stuff if we want it to get SRUed. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .

@dholbach: Can you tell me what minor changes you did? In summer I want
to fix other thumbnailers, but I have absolutely no experience with
debian packaging.

Title:
  gnome-raw-thumbnailer doesn't do anything

Status in “gnome-raw-thumbnailer” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have a lot of nikon .nef raw files that I'd like thumbnailed.  This
  worked perfectly in natty.  So, I install gnome-raw-thumbnailer.  I
  see it set up the correct gconf entries, and yet, no thumbnails.

  Running it by hand revealed that it also doesn't return anything nor
  create any files.  An strace (attached) shows that the source and
  destination files are never accessed before it returns -1 and exits.

  Without this, going through my many hundreds of RAW files will be
  extremely difficult.  Also, again, this was working in Natty.
