Raw Images Blurry
Im aware of the CLI issue with RAF uploading so i uploaded some through the webui.
They upload successfully, but when i navigate to the image in the WebUI its blurry and wont load even when i wait. Some even didnt generate thumbnails. If i download the image it displays fine on my computer or phone.
Any advice would be appreciated

Download will download the original, but the browser can't display raw files manually natively, so we need to convert it to a jpeg. The library/method we use to do this on the server mostly works, but I think there are limitations with raw files.
If you look at the microservices container logs you will likely see errors confirming this behavior.
This PR is turning into more of a general approach for raw files support by using another tool (darktable-cli) to generate thumbnails for these types of files. Hopefully it can be a good fallback and enable a variety of raw formats. Still WIP though.

Okay makes sense, any way to have it work better or just wait out till this darktable integration happens?
Also i did open an issue regarding CLI imports of RAF images. Seems the focus is elsewhere at the momrnt for the project.
