Will the forthcoming release of dt support Canon cr3 format?
I'm interested in this as well, having recently purchased a Canon EOS R camera. There was some discussion in August, but the outcome back then seemed to be that exiv2 (which Darktable uses) developers are too uncertain of the possible legal issues and Canon is unwilling to give any assurance that decoding the format is allowed. There was also some talk on the relevant git issues about having to figure out how to actually decode it without an official spec.
However, libraw has apparently had CR3 decoding support since November 2019. There's a fork of RawTherapee[1] with CR3 support (using libraw) in a build from March, and it worked out of the box on my Debian unstable system. So it seems that the format has been sufficiently figured out and, at least so far, Canon has yet to raise a legal ruckus about it.
So where does Darktable stand with this issue? If exiv2 is too mired in their legal uncertainty, would using libraw either in addition or instead of it be an option? I would prefer to stick with Darktable since it's unlikely the XMP data can be transferred to a different program at the drop of a hat.
