I've started tinkering with libraw to potentially add a native "fallback" Camera RAW importer for GIMP. We'll still strongly encourage using the #darktable, #rawtherapee, and #ART plug-ins for more powerful editing, but this potential feature will allow for quick-and-dirty edits if need be.
For those who use Camera RAW, would there be any import options you'd expect/want when opening a Camera RAW image via the fallback plug-in?
