[QUOTE="clindh, post: 221727, member: 64019"] [b]A solution[/b] I don't think MP should do raw conversion, but there is a solution though that wold support many RAW files. RAW-files are usually stored in the EXIF file format, and can thus have a embedded JPEG versions inside. And many do, for exampel Nikon cameras creates a JPEG and stores it inside the RAW file automatically - even when you just shooting "NEF". Nikon View and other viewers use these to quickly display the picture, only when you zoom in to 100% the program does a raw conversion. D70(s) and D2X NEF files have full size, basic quality JPGs embedde for example. Here is a program for extracting these: [url]http://drchung.new21.net/previewextractor/[/url] I don't know about Canon files, but Adobe DNG can have previews as well - which are updated by Camera Raw for example when ýou do changes to an image. Currently, MediaPortal seems to show the embedded thumbnail if it finds one in raw files. If this was changed slightly so it first looked for larger embedded previews, then we could get support for at least these RAW files in "My Pictures". That would be awesome and useful; I too prefer not to create a "shadow" JPEG hierarchy of my raw files just for browsing them in Media Portal. [/QUOTE]
