ufraw has taken over

[Brian Cluff]

Sounds like you just need to tell your system to use gimp instead of caja.

If you are just looking to bulk export raw images, you will probably 
want to take a look at darktable.  You just select the directory full of 
raw images under "import" on the left side.  Then select att (ctrl-a) in 
the middle area with the icons once they all come up.

Then click on "export selected" on the right side and click "export" 
Then just find something to do for a while because your computer is 
going to be busy for a long time.
