Hi,

for loading a raw image into Gimp, I'd like to use the nufraw plugin which allows for 16 bit color depth import. When running this plugin I get an error message

Calling error for procedure 'plug-in-metadata-decode-exif': Procedure 'plug-in-metadata-decode-exif' not found.

Does anybody know what to do about this?

maybe, appears from what information you gave that the plug-in is not where gimp expects it to be. Move the plug-in or tell gimp where to find it.

Many thanks for hint, Helmut

This in Kubuntu 16.04

Can not help with that message, maybe the way the gimp plugin is compiled.

I can get that error message using the nufraw-gimp plugin from the ubuntu ppa 'myway' Even with the error message, it works though but only 8 bit into Gimp 2.8.18 or Gimp 2.9.5.

For 16 bit straight into Gimp 2.9.5 then I had to compile the plugin (latest 0.38) with the Gimp 2.9 packages.

Works fine, a nice alternative to the other, IMHO over complicated options.

First, check Edit-->Preferences-->Folders-->Plugins or -->Scripts, to see where GIMP is expecting to find the plugin.

Next, if it is where GIMP expects, then run GIMP from a terminal (just 'gimp' and return). and check whatever messages are printed before the GIMP windows come up. There may be a message related to your plugin - some problem could cause GIMP not to load the plugin; therefore, when something tries to call the plugin, it is naturally "not found".

A little digging around and the problem goes back to ufraw days.

https://sourceforge.net/p/ufraw/bugs/401/

I recompiled nufraw with Gimp 2.9.5, had a good look at the configure output, added anything that was not found.

Ended up with a monster plugin 5MB. Still no good, the image opened in Gimp 2.9.5 has no metadata.

The same applies to the stand-alone nufraw, if sending directly to GIMP. In this case exporting to a new file keeps metadata.

Where is "plug-in-metadata-decode-exif", not in any version of Gimp I use. I did find one reference to it, an empty entry in Saule Goodes pdb database.

There is another error message, try and change the icc to something other than sRGB
