Evernote file typs? RAW images?

[Traveller1 4]

Can Evernote store and sync RAW (Olympus .ORF) files? I am having trouble syncing my files. Is there someway to do this?

You can attach any file type to a note and it should sync to other devices.  You would attach a RAW file in the same way as other files.  Can you provide more information like what the specific trouble is and which client you are working on?

The syncing process is    device <>  server  <> device     regardless of file types

You can view the server data using the web platform at www.evernote.com

When I drag the .ORF file into a note the file is not copied, rather a blue question mark appears. Copy attached. I am using the Mac version of EN.

I opened support  ticket #2854949; I'll update with the response

edit: reponse from support was 
Thanks for reporting this. The icon we're using to represent the image is misleading and should not indicate the file is missing. An approach like Evernote Web's is more ideal in this place. Please know that I've filed a bug with engineering for a fix.

I got the same result on my Mac, the image file is copied but displays as a blue ?
Looking at the back-end, the note looks correct
I can right click the ? icon
- Open-with-Preview, I see the image
- Annotate-this-image shows the image

Sync-d to the web, the note displays as expected

Hmmm, I tried with a Sony RAW file and it worked fine, no blue question mark.  Not that it should be different but have you tried a cut and paste instead of a drag n drop to see if the result is different?  Do you get the question mark with any other types of files, or just the .ORF?

Probably the opening is done by the Apple RAW engine build into Photos app. It can open quite many RAW formats.

The preview is generated by EN, I assume on the server. When it cannot interpret a file format, it will leave the preview with a question mark. The picture data behind it is intact, so it can be opened on any device prepared to handle it.

These are my ideas about how this might work, not real knowledge. This would mean as well: No previews on many RAWs.

That's probably it.  It could be trying to render the image inline instead of as an attachment and since it doesn't recognize the file format, you get the question mark.  I have EN set to display all files as attachments instead of displayed inline, so when I tried I got the file attached as I was expecting it.  I have this set as my default in Windows.  I don't see where you can set this in the Mac, except for the clipper.

No inline display is acceptable, however we need the attachment display

The blue ? Is not workable.

? I'm not understanding what you are trying to say, could you restate?

I'm ok with no inline display; they're only available for a select list of formats.

I need the file attachment display

We should not see a blue ?

[s2sailor 1,178]

Ok, thanks.  Is there a way to switch the default between inline and attachment on the Mac?  I'm not finding it.

Rignt clicking a pdf gives these options
                                                                 

My understanding is no inline display option for raw image formats

For the    Right clicking gives these options

Thanks for the work involved. Yes, when I save or open this blue square the file is clearly present in the EN note. It would be better of course if the file were fully visible, certainly with the filename, however, as long as the file is stored in EN I am content. It does seems as if the Mac version has less capability than the Win version. Thanks again for the info.

Probably the Mac version relies on functions it borrows from the OS, whereas on Windows, that does not have an own RAW engine, the EN Client has some own capabilities.

Does Windows have inline display for the RAW formats?   I know the RAW format display is supported in the Mac OS.

The point of my support ticket is to resolve the icon thing.  That's clearly a bug.

[PinkElephant 5,560]

No, windows has no OS-RAW-capacity. There it depends on the programs you may have installed, and that are linked to that format.If you have something like Lightroom, Photoshop or Affinity Photo, you can open RAWs. Else not, you get an error message.

My interpretation is this:

When opening the file locally, the Macs own RAW-engine kicks in, and opens the file.

The preview that should be where the  is shown is produced on the EN server in the upload / sync process. When they can not read the file, they place this symbol. I assume on the server there is no RAW engine, at least for this format. So it can not produce a preview.
