What are the issues preventing iMacs and MacBook Pros and iPads from recognizing the .orf files in the new OM Systems OM-1? I just get a placeholder with the file number when I transfer files. Adobe and other photo processing softwares already support the new camera. Is there a timeline for an update?

The issues are simple: Apple haven't written a decoder for these Raw, or if they have, have not released it yet. This may be because they are waiting for information from OM, or it could be that this is not a priority for Apple these days. No one outside of Apple knows what plans they have to release a raw definition, or even if they plan to. In my personal opinion, if you're spending approx a pro level $2k on a camera, you're best off similar quality software.

FWIW, there's never a timeline released by Apple for any unsupported camera.
Just to add, if you are waiting for support so you can view thumbnails, you should take a look at XnView MP.
I suspect any new updates will come out in Ventura. But don't hold your breath. I have given up on TG-5 support.
FWIW, you may want to look at XnView as well.
Nah, I just rarely shoot raw. JPEG is usually fine for me.
I see. The fact that you said you had given up on TG-5 RAW support fooled me. 😎
While I usually use JPEGS, I at least like to have the capability to use RAW easily. Besides, I test a lot for this community. 8^)
