The bug

I used a Fuji S5 DSLR APS-C and stored my pictures in RAW (.RAF) format.

Few of the albums are being imported and displayed, other full albums (100 pictures together) are neither displayed as thumbnail nor as image when selected.

I am unable to attach a faulty .RAF to this issue, but happy to upload one of pictures.

Forgot to note: Mac OS 11.7.4 Big Sur is able to display thumbnails and full sized pictures from a Samba share of the same files in Finder and Preview. Therefore I conclude the files are not defective, but Immich has issues reading the Fuji S5 RAW format.

Workaround: install https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/using/adobe-dng-converter.html and convert .RAF to .DNG, replace .RAF with .DNGs in current location but store original RAW in DNG. Reimport entire existing collection. All pictures become available.

FWIW, it might be a fast-track to use an external library like darktable's rawspeed which supports Fuji RAW.

We use libvips, Imagemagick and libraw as our image libraries. The latter is what handles RAW images and it does support RAF, but there are a lot of things that can go wrong with processing RAW images.

Hi:
Same bug here, and the immich verison is v1.79.1

The libraw can identify the raw file correctly:
image

Error log:
