Image editor and Batch Queme Manager are always demosaicing and importing RAW. I would like to have a option not to convert RAW but to use it's JPEG preview. Also it's sometimes desirable, because commonly converted images are different to previews (and not always better).
I propose to create a new BQM tool to extract JPEG preview from RAW... Gilles Caulier
Such a tool would definitely be good though I think it would be nice to have a global option for image editor as well. So I there could be fourt option "No Decoding, use preview" under settings' Raw decoding tab.
