[QUOTE="jonbenton, post: 361658, member: 77946"] Agreed, using the RAW codec installed from various manufactures to view thumbs and pictures in explorer should be like they are for the decoders and plugins for watching videos. The ability to view RAW images in MediaPortal would be a nice feature, albeit not the best option but I think the easiest to implement. As far as viewing RAW images in MediaPortal "just shoot jpeg" most my images require just a little white balance and then there is the studio pictures, so viewing them on the couch would be a huge plus for future processing and significant other browsing. People who shoot in RAW are most likely looking for the highest quality and most flexable (in terms of post processing) format a "digital negative". Leave jpeg for point and shoots and people who shoot in full auto or program modes, or for pics you don't care about. Better still would be to view my Lightroom catalog in MediaPortal. If it was not for Lightroom I would have a huge amount of processed images, so gone are those days. Need vs. want. As far as needs go none of us need a HTPC but the fact remains and we all want features. So please don't knock those of us who "want" something different than the masses. [/QUOTE]
