When you say the photos don't display in the preview, do you mean it doesn't see
the files at all, or can't show the contents?
It shows the existence of the files with a "default icon" but not the image
itself.
I assumed the reason it shows a default image for the files rather
than the contents was because the raw format on my Nikon is proprietary and libraw
hasn't been updated to support the format. The same issue was present with the raw
interface in Photoshop/Photoshop Elements, it had to be updated to support the camera
before it could manipulate the files in the NEF format that the D3100 takes.
In digikam, if you go to "Help--->Supported Raw Cameras" you'll see your
camera is listed.
I've tried accessing the camera with GIMP, but it can't even
see it. I haven't tried RAWTHERAPEE or DARKTABLE yet, but I know those two can process
the NEF files when they are on a hard disk.
And that appears to be the same for digikam. Once you move the files to the
system's disk you can view and work with them.
