Just JPEGs
« on: November 09, 2011, 01:37:57 PM »
In several dialogs in PM there are currently radio buttons to select between "Original Photos" and "Saved As JPEG", with further choices on how to handle RAW+JPEG if "Original Photos" is chosen.  Would it be possible to add an option to "Ignore RAW only"?

The effect would be to skip altogether any RAW files selected that do not have a JPEG pair.  This would avoid accidentally sending RAW files to clients, on occasions when I'm part way through the post-capture workflow and not all selected RAW photos have their jpegs from Lightroom yet.

If we did so, we'd have to at least put up a warning that not all images would be processed.

  Yes, I agree that would be essential, it could cause all sorts of confusion otherwise if the setting was chosen accidentally or unknowingly.
