Hi, sorry if I'm asking the wrong question but I feel I have to. Since 18.04.2016 there is a raw importer plug-in in GIMP master that calls darktable to do its job. With the same commit the GEGL NEF importer was disabled which is a quite clear sign of the devs' preferences. On the one hand it is great we have proper import for raw files in GIMP and darktable is indeed a great application for raw processing. On the other hand I see that up to 90% of the PC users are Windows users, for instance see these [statistics]. In the past the darktable devs refused to provide a Windows build for understandable reasons of maintenance and even didn't want to hear about Partha's Windows build (see the latest discussion about this on the darktable dev mailing list in February 2016). The latter makes it also very difficult to discuss Windows related bugs which will definitely come. So, it seems GIMP and Darktable are now trapped - how are 90% of the GIMP users supposed to import raw files with an application that will probably never support their platform? What has led to this decision? Did anybody compare the various ways to import raw files into GIMP (GEGL, darktable, ufraw, photoflow etc.)?
