If you are a digital photographer that takes most of their pics in RAW format like I do and you do most or all of your photo editing on a Windows system, you simply must get the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack.
It enables Windows users the ability to view their RAW pictures as thumbnails when in Windows Explorer, which is super helpful when trying to move pictures between folders or choose which ones to move to your hard drive from the flash stick.
Sadly, GIMP 2 does not use this functionality.
