What did file output when previously given a CR2 file? What kind of camera did it come from?
I'm having trouble finding a version of the magic which works; I downloaded RAW samples from a Canon 10D and a 20D on rawsamples.ch, and every version of file I test (including 4.26-1, which is the version in Lenny) is reporting: $ file RAW* RAW_CANON_10D.CRW: data RAW_CANON_20D.CR2: TIFF image data, little-endian dcraw sees them properly: $ dcraw -i RAW_CANON_10D.CRW RAW_CANON_20D.CR2 RAW_CANON_10D.CRW is a Canon EOS 10D image. RAW_CANON_20D.CR2 is a Canon EOS 20D image. Because the output from file is still technically correct, and I can't find a working version, I'm changing the status to wishlist. It's easy enough to patch, though; see the attached, which adds support for both CR2 and CRW formats. I've tested it against a couple of files from rawsamples.ch; please let me know if you run into any problems. To the maintainer: if this needs to be in a different format, please let me know, and I'll resubmit it. Also, I've put "CR2" and "CIFF" in the description; these are somewhat redundant, in that CIFF images are always version 1.2, and CR2 images always 2.0; both of these matches could say "Canon raw image data, version x.y". If anyone has suggestions, I'd be happy to implement them. With the patch: $ file -m images RAW_CANON_10D.CRW RAW_CANON_20D.CR2 RAW_CANON_10D.CRW: Canon CIFF raw image data, version 1.2 RAW_CANON_20D.CR2: Canon CR2 raw image data, version 2.0 Adam Buchbinder
