Preview and Finder can't see my .RW2 files

I recently got a new camera (Panasonic GX7) which shoots the same raw file format .RW2 as my older Panasonic GF1 camera. My workflow is to convert the .RW2 files to .dng at import via Lightroom, and to save the .RW2 files as backup on a separate drive.
Just noticed that if I try to view any files from the new camera in Preview, I get a message "The file "_000xxx.RW2" could not be opened. Preview currently does not support this raw file format". Also looking at the files in Finder with Column View, no preview is available, just an icon. Same goes for the .RW2 files and the converted .dng files.
On my wife's Mac Mini running 10.9.4, all these files display as I would expect.
Question is, will Preview ever support this raw file format (from this camera - same file format displays just fine from older camera!) under OS X Lion? Or is the truth that "While you're running a Lion machine Preview ain't never gonna support this new-fangled camera's raw files"?
Can anyone advise?
Thanks in advance
Jim

Thanks QuickTimeKirk - as I feared!
My MacPro won't go beyond Lion, so I'll have to live with this for a while, I guess

  • Preview and Finder showing photos with the right rotation, once imported to iPhoto its lost

    Hi,
    I'm geting nuts with this issue.
    For my own camera all works fine. 90° rotated pics show up in Finder, Preview and iPhoto correctly. Landscape is landscape, portrait is portrait.
    Now I got photos shared (using Dropbox) from a friends camera. Finder and Preview also show landscape and portraits correctly rotated.
    But, once I import them (by drag&drop from the Finder) into iPhoto, all portrait photos are landscape now and need to be rotated 90°. This is the same for Thumbnails, full screen and even slideshow.
    The only difference when importing those photos is, for my own I use the import out of iPhoto (by plugging the SD directly to the Mac), the other photos are imported from the Finder with drag&drop.
    BTW, the rotation information for all photos are correct in Preview (1 for normal photos, 8 or 6 for 90° rotated).
    So what is the problem here? I'm going nuts.
    Thanks in advance.
    Monty

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

  • How can I see the hidden file and erase it?

    I had to make a file starting "." and had to put it on my FTP client. I made it by Text Edit and Microsoft word and save it. Since it is hidden file, I can't see on my Mac but when I use the FTP client and click post, the file listing was showed up and I can check as "Show Hidden file". Then I could post the files on the FTP client. However, since I don't need it on my computer, I'd like to erase it but can't find the files. How can I find the hidden files? Thank you.

    if you know the folder then navigate to that folder. Open the Terminal application in your Utiities folder and do the following::
    Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

    I sent an email from my iPhone 3GS (via iCloud account) with around 16GB of attachment. It slowed down the phone for a few seconds, then appeared to be sent. However, the message is now not in the sent box, and I can't see an outbox at all. Any ideas?

    That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
    If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
    If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit.

  • I purchased a game name Einstein and I can't see it , it doesn't show up in the menu!?

    I purchased a game name Einstein and I can't see it , it doesn't show up in the menu!?

    This may be related to the "feature" that displays all Greatest Hits albums as one album, or it may be that the tracks are marked as compilations. Find one of the missing artists in iTunes and select the tracks from the album. Make sure the Compilations flag is set to No. Change the album title to something unique, e.g. if it's called *Greatest Hits*, rename it to *Greatest Hits, Artist*. Resync your iPod and see if it helps. If so, repeat the treatment.

    Okay, so somebody stole my Ipod, 4th generation, and it don't have IOS 7, it has IOS 6.1.4, and apparently I was tracking it  with police officers this morning and when I get home from school (now, 4:26) it appears that it's offline and I can't see the location no more, so my question is... Can they still find out where is it located?

    Your carrier might be able to locate it if it's on their network and they are ordered to do so by the police or the courts.  It can't be tracked with Find My iPhone if it's offline.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • JPEGS still crashing preview and finder

    Well, after all the recent updates by Adobe and Apple I'm still experiencing preview and finder crashes. As well, if the OS X needs to use any of these JPEGS (the screensaver for example) it crashes the finder. What's going on, does anyone have any idea if Apple intends to address this? Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this?
    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you William. It's a pity Apply hasn't addressed this issue already given it is a major one. We'll have to wait and see I guess.
    I did find one work around and that was to export the JPEG's through Lightroom or Photoshop re saving them as JPEG's thus stripping them of the corrosive meta data. This however takes the quality of the JPEG down a bit, as well if there's hundreds of JPEG's this could take a very very long time to do.

    Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
    Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.

    in Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed
    Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

    I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
    So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
    Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.
