Is there any chance of getting RAW support in the near future?
This is usually the lossless picture format used in digital cameras, or at least the "Professional" ones. If PMView is gonna be "Pro", shouldn't it support RAW as well? :-) I think it might have to be different for each model (not sure), but there are only a handful of major digi-cam manufacturers with RAW. (Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Kodak?) Heck, I'd be willing to pay a little extra for a plugin that does this. As I understand most RAW image format is easy for programmer, but not necessarily for user.

Every camera manufacturer has its own "RAW" format.
Most RAW formats are a nightmare for the programmer. The specification is usually not disclosed, leaving the programmers to do an ugly hack (reverse engineering) of the file format. The camera manufacturer may also change the format between camera models rendering the code useless because the change was not anticipated... Supporting RAW is best done by using the camera manufacturer supplied DLLs. Unfortunately this is a no-go as camera manufacturers do not provide DLLs for OS/2...
