-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody, I'm new and I'm still looking at the svn code for the first time, I read as much as possible about raw-library you were talking about...
I've a question, just to understand if "it's possibile to have...?". Do u think it could be useful/possible a "Raw library to use..." selector in the option panel ? I think that we'll never have a perfect raw-library for all possible formats, maybe, in the future, each library will be optimized and tested only for some formats... Let me know...
