Raw images not appearing in Photos #57

I install this plugin, and it is working; when I click a raw image, it shows a preview as written on the tin.

However, I see lots of comments saying "great, this even works in the gallery!", which is exactly what I want, but that is not working for me. If I add new jpeg's they appear in the gallery, if I add a CR2, it does not appear in the gallery, and I can only see it via the filesystem.

This is tested against a brand new instance of nextcloud, most recent release.
Have I missed something? I wasn't able to find any means for configuration of this plugin.

Thanks.

This app only makes files have previews. It is up to the individual apps to make use of that metadata. In the webdav response there is a tag called nc:has-previews which is supposed to be handled.
The gallery app is legacy as far as I know and the new viewer app can be used together with the files app.

Okay, right; there's a bunch of people who refer to the 'Gallery' (saying that it worked with your plugin), but I only see "Files", "Photos", etc.

So... I still want my CR2's to appear in Photos, but they just don't. Do you know how that can be fixed? Who is responsible for that compatibility? Is it a thing that can be implemented from your plugin, or from the Photos app? Or is there some protocol between the 2 missing?
How does "Photos" determine what files are photos that should appear in albums?

The photos app should make use of the webdav tag for previews instead of just whitelisting certain mimetypes.

I'm not sure that's what I'd want personally; otherwise you'll end up with PDF's and all sorts of junk in your photos just because it has a preview.
I feel like there should be some way to extend the particular collection of mimetypes that are to be included in the photos... that way your plugin, which is certain that the media it provides previews for are definitely photos, can extend that whitelist list.
Maybe that's already possible?

nextcloud/photos#530 <- this appears to be requested at the other end too
You and Photos team should synchronise on an API to manage the whitelist.

Closing this as this is handled in other app
