RAW: Add RawTherapee flag to use existing sidecar files

[rizmot]

Currently, RawTherapee ignores pre-existing sidecar-profiles. This can be changed using the -s command-line parameter according to https://rawpedia.rawtherapee.com/Command-Line_Options#RawTherapee_CLI

True, I didn't add / change any RawTherapee parameters. From what I remember, the standard profile is used by default. Probably need to modify the command to use other profiles / sidecars. Is there a generic way to do this or do we need to add yet another config parameter to set a profile name / type?

So i tested the following command: rawtherapee-cli -d -p raw.pp3 -s -o output.jpg -c input.RAW
This will use the default ( -d ) profile, then if another profile is specified ( -p raw.pp3 ) it will be stacked on top of the default profile. Then, if the -s command is set, a sidecar-profile, if one is found, will be stacked on top of whatever was specified before. The -d -p -s parameters have to be set in the right order since the last one will overwrite the ones before. As I understand it, -d and -p raw.pp3 might be optional in this case. So rawtherapee-cli -s -o output.jpg -c input.RAW should do the trick.

Can you test it please? If it works, we're going to release next week.

Already released it, hopefully it works for you as expected. At least it didn't seem to break anything. CR3 files still work.

I tested it and it works fine. Pre-existing profiles are now used for RAW-Processing with RawTherapee. Thank you.

Excellent, thanks for testing! 🙏

I can't seem to get this to work. The JPG output does not match that of Rawtherapee. The .pp3 sidecar file is present and visible as one of the files:

I've disabled Darktable to ensure RAW processing is done by Rawtherapee:

I've also tried re-indexing to no avail.

Is there anything else I need to do to set this up?

@louwers Sorry for the late reply! If Darktable is found and not disabled/blacklisted, it is used by default. So I guess that the files were not converted with RawTherapee?
