UFRaw working now with the 0.14 CVS version. Ugly but functional.
As for Digikam, 0.94 final lists the K20D as a supported camera, so you might see if your Linux distribution has that version packaged before going to the trouble of compiling it manually. It became available on my Gentoo system yesterday.
Just scanned the changelog for digikam and did not see mention of the K20D anywhere but I may do a local compile of 0.94 just to see how it goes. SuSE is still at v0.92 for their repositories and Packman is currently at v0.93.
I don't know about f-spot, but would guess that it uses code from dcraw also...probably older dcraw code compiled in statically, not dynamically, so the version of dcraw you have installed on your system won't affect it.
I had read 'somewhere' that f-spot and/or showfoto basically were frontends for ufraw; but that very well could have been heresay. It would make more sense that they have compiled dcraw (old version) into their executable, as you said. LightZone packages a standalone dcraw executable that is v8.79 and it (dcraw 8.79) does read the K20D raw images just fine but something else they are using in their code mucks things up the same as the other apps.
I don't believe RawTherapee uses dcraw at all, so you will need to go to the RawTherapee forums for your answer. The author of RawTherapee is generally pretty responsive on the forums.
Hope that helps.
After I attempt to get 0.94 of digikam going if that doesn't work out I am probably going to either batch convert raw->tiff with dcraw, or shoot jpeg for a while, and do whatever PP necessary in LZ - and patiently await the vendors to catch up. I've got enough stress in my life already and don't need to compoud it by fighting software.
Thanks!
