raw file decoding options
Real cool! I tried out the 0.9.0 and I am almost convinced to switch to shooting raw moode exclusively......except....
It might be a good thing to be able to set defaults for dcraw,
baised on ones experience/camera. ie. When I shoot in raw mode
with my Minolta 5d the raw images always come out a bit dark.
Not the thumbnail, but when loading them with 0.9.0. All the
images need tweeking because the raw images are about a F/stop dark.
I remember reading somewhere about dcraw that some raw images come out underexposed...ie dcraw has a -b option that sets the brightness of the output image. Infact the dcraw man page even notes this under TIPS.
As the options you added seem to be all associated with the dcraw command options, I thought that I would mention it as something that wouold be real nice in the future.

I use a canon 400d and the raw files seem normal in thumbnail or view mode, but when i edit them they are overexposed constantly and the raw settings dont help. Digikam 0.9.4
