Shotwell can display previews of CR2 RAW files when my Canon camera is
attached, but doesn't show previews when I remove the camera's flash card and
attach it to the computer directly. This doesn't seem right.

Makes sense to me -- a camera has embedded logic to read the preview images
out of its own RAW files, a card reader wouldn't.

Eric is right, and libgphoto is really good at talking to cameras and has a
lot of device-specific logic built into it that doesn't come into play with
simple mass-storage device type memory cards. Of course, if we moved from
libgphoto to direct GVFS access, we might be get around some of libgphoto's
limitations, so I'm linking this ticket with the GVFS one.

Clearing 0.13 milestone. I don't know why I ever milestoned this for 0.13 in
the first place. This bug can't be fixed without major GPhoto / GVFS work,
which isn't going to happen in the time that remains before the 0.13 release.

Adam, I've just committed a patch from Joseph Bylund which corrects a similar
problem on Nikon and Olympus cameras. Can you pull Shotwell from git and see
if your problem is corrected? I also recommend running the latest GPhoto
(2.5.2).

  * **Status** changed from _Need Information_ to _Fixed_

With the latest Shotwell from git and GPhoto 2.5.2, I now see previews for RAW
photos even on a flash card. So it appears this is now fixed - thanks!
