[SOLVED] nautilus will not thumbnail .cr2 raw files

Thumbnails everything else, and every other file manager thumbnails the .cr2 files just fine. 

Settings are to thumbnail all files under 1GB and I have raw-thumbnailer installed.

Re: [SOLVED] nautilus will not thumbnail .cr2 raw files

Asked developers and I don't understand why it is not a GNOME issue.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781581

1.I'm used ufraw.thumbnailer before and now I comletely deleted ufraw from my computer.
2. Because gdk-pixbuf can generate cr2 thumbnails

------
I just added

image/x-xpixmap;image/x-canon-cr2;

to the

MimeType=

in

/usr/share/thumbnailers/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer.thumbnailer

------

And why ufraw developers needs to ship a ".thumbnailer" file which calls gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer?
Ufraw-thumbnailer calls ufraw for generate thumbnails and gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer calls gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer. Or am I wrong?

Thank you.  You just made my life so much easier. 

This is unfortunate though https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25368 , but at least I can tell what files are what now.
