The bug

From what I understand Immich uses imagemagick #2668 to handle RAW photos and while the library supposedly supports Panasonic DMC series (G7 included) the microservice errors out saying the image format is unsupported

[Nest] 7  - 08/01/2023, 4:42:41 AM   ERROR [JobService] Unable to run job handler: Error: Input file contains unsupported image format
[Nest] 7  - 08/01/2023, 4:42:41 AM   ERROR [JobService] Error: Input file contains unsupported image format

Reproduction steps

1. Change file extension to .RAW as .RW2 files do nothing when trying to upload
2. After upload photo thumbnail is replaced with a placeholder

Just to give an update, this is an upstream bug with libvips that I've let them know about. I'm happy to upgrade our version of libvips once it's fixed there.
