The bug

I found https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/1109, but do not believe the resolution is fair. The Sony RAW format is very popular and is a major blocker for adoption.

The linked libvips issue suggests there is support for the file format, but magickload must be used instead.

Could I have an example file to test with?

Unfortunately, Google Photos will not let me download the .ARW file. Those both come downloaded as JPEG.

So I've been looking into this and I think it should actually be a really small change, though I did come across a major caveat. Image Magick on Alpine is compiled for ufraw, which is not a valid package on Alpine. The base image may need to use debian instead, at least until the upstream issue is fixed.

See https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/14957.

Just FYI - On my backlog is to finish #2198, which is trying to integrate darktable-cli which has general support for many different raw formats.

I wouldn't worry about it. It looks like the alpine authors have already recompiled imagemagick with libraw support. The change for Immich is then just including that package. I think this is preferable to relying on multiple cli tools and keeps the code cleaner. The change should also be less risky.

What does this imply? Will this change add general support for RAW files? If so, I agree that would be preferable.

I believe it does, yes. It should support: https://www.libraw.org/supported-cameras.

Great, I'll keep putting it off then 😆 and maybe it will resolve itself.
