Allow download of RAW photos when using "--skip-videos" option

[pjahn]

With the iPhone 12 Pro, Apple introduced the functionality to take photos in RAW data format (see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211965). However, these photos are not included in the download and there is currently no option to do so. Those files are currently skipped. I suggest that this option be added to optionally include these files (they have the suffix "dgn") in downloads.

...Those files are currently skipped...

Can you provide more detain on the cmd you tried that with? Version of icloudpd, cmd line params and any other detail you find relevant.

I tried latest version icloudpd -d ./ASSETS -u my@email.address --recent 2 and it downloaded Pro image (DNG) and Pro video (MOV) just fine.

icloudpd, version 1.13.0

parameters:
icloudpd --username user@domain.com --password anypassword --until-found 5 --skip-videos --no-progress-bar --set-exif-datetime --folder-structure {:%Y/%Y-%m-%d} --directory /somepath --cookie-directory /somepath

I tried latest version icloudpd -d ./ASSETS -u my@email.address --recent 2 and it downloaded Pro image (DNG) and Pro video (MOV) just fine.

Will try the latest version now.
Thank you.

Tried with the latest version.

Output:
2023-07-26 18:47:21 DEBUG Skipping IMG_1804.DNG, only downloading photos.(Item type was: movie)

icloudpd, version 1.15.1

[pjahn]

icloudpd -d /tmp -u user@domain.com --skip-videos --recent 2 => no dng downloaded
icloudpd -d /tmp -u user@domain.com --recent 2 => dng downloaded

--skip-videos parameter skips dng files.

My camera (a Panasonic camera) saves both JPG and RW2 files. I upload them manually to iCloud. A photo with two files (one for JPG and one for RW2) is shown as a single photo on iCloud (and on my iPhone too), with a "JPEG + RAW" hint at the top left corner of the photo if I click it.

I can download both files of the photo by clicking the three dots button next to the delete button and choosing "More Download Options" -> "Unmodified Original". The downloaded zip is like this:

$ unzip -l ~/Downloads/iCloud\ Photos\ \(3\).zip
Archive:  /Users/yangkai/Downloads/iCloud Photos (3).zip

Hope there's an option to allow downloading both JPG and RAW files.

Would be great to also have an option to only download RAW files. In my case I'm using Nikon cameras and the extension is .NEF.

As well as .ARW RAW files.
