Those RAW files also have a lot of information embedded, especially the EXIF data (but not necessary in the EXIF standard, nor any standard...
).It would be great if XnView could use those data and allow us to manage them completely, just as JPEG files:
- access those 'pseudo' EXIF data, and show them in the EXIF panel
- use the Orientation EXIF Flag to automatically orientate the Thumbnails
- take advantage of XMP to manage IPTC data through their new "IPTC Core" with sidecar .xmp files.
It could be quite a lot of work, but would be of great interest for Advanced Photographers.
(I am trying to promote XnView as the ultimate photo Viewer[&more] for all photographers... at least in some forums

PS: there is also another suggestion about combining .CRW and .THM as a single Thumbnail, that belongs to the same 'topic'
