View source for Raw12 viewer

[[File:Raw12_viewer.png]]

==About==
A rather simple demo python program to preview raw12 files. You can switch between monochrome and color mode.
Output is not meant to replace a proper raw development workflow but is meant as a quick and easy way to see what a raw12 file contains.

==Prerequsiites==
 <pre class="code">
sudo apt install python3, python3-pip, python3-tk
pip3 install PySimpleGUI
</pre>

==Usage==

run with:

 <pre class="code">python3 raw12viewer.py image.raw12</pre>

==Filetype Association==

To open the viewer automatically when double clicking on raw12 files the filetype needs to be associated.

Here is a guide how to do that on Ubuntu/Debian Linux based distros:


Create/edit a .desktop file located in ~/.local/share/applications/ or /usr/share/applications/

In our case we called it raw12viewer.desktop and the content is (make sure the Exec path points to your local location of the script):
 <pre class="code">
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=raw12 Viewer
Exec=python3 /home/user/Documents/GitHub/misc-tools-utilities/raw12-viewer.py %F
Hidden=false
</pre>


Then right click a raw12 file and select Open With -> Other Application and scroll down to your newly created entry called "raw12 Viewer".
