I've been playing around with gallery3 the past few days and like what I've seen thus far of the beta. I didn't see any mention of importing raw images into gallery3 anywhere in the forums though. Is this something that is planned or is the intention that this capability will be added on by a third party module? Or is support already added and I need to register dcraw with gallery3 somehow? |

3rd party module in the future.

This doesn't look like a feature that can be provided by a third party. I see code in modules/gallery/models/item.php like this:
if ($this->is_photo()) {
$image_info = getimagesize($this->data_file);
The core G3 code seems to assume that all photos are regular PHP-supported image formats. RAW photos break that assumption.
This looks like a feature I should help add, since I use RAW all the time. Should I just hack away at it, (making changes to core gallery code in the process)? If someone has a game plan for adding this feature, then please contact me.

Ah, but it is a feature that can be provided by a 3rd party. Just like the dcraw module for G2 is a separate module, someone could (and would have to) write a module to process raw camera images in G3.
There should be absolutely no need to change any core code, a module should be able to deal with this. See Bharat's comment in this thread:

I shoot everything in Canon Raw, and some of my customers prefer having the ability to work w/ them. I would love to point them to a gallery page, and have them download the "origonal" RAW file for the images they want to use. Hopefully someone w/ the ability to code this will take up the task.
