Fixing missing mime types

In case the default config does not work for you, try this:

Edit the file /usr/share/thumbnailers/raw.thumbnailer as root and insert the following content:

[Thumbnailer Entry]
TryExec=ufraw-batch
Exec=ufraw-batch --silent --size %s --out-type=png --noexif --output=%o --overwrite --embedded-image %i
MimeType=image/x-canon-cr2;image/x-canon-crw;image/x-minolta-mrw;image/x-nikon-nef;image/x-pentax-pef;image/x-panasonic-raw2;image/x-samsung-srw;image/x-olympus-orf;

Check if the mime type of your RAW images in in the MimeType list.

After that, stop nautlius and clear the thumbnail caches:

nautlius -q
rm -rf .cache/thumbnails/* .thumbnails/*
