P: Support Common Image Formats (EPS, GIF, PDF, BMP etc.)

LR5 Beta supports PNG, but not any of the other formats requested in this thread.

I am using camera-fv5 , https://play.google.com/store/apps/de... , it telling me that saving PNG provide better quality than JPG and I want my photo taken with camera-fv5 able to edited at lightroom . Is that a valid reason of LR supporting this format?

Or if there better android app can even take RAW file like DNG?

There is no evidence that adding better image file support would displace any features of interest to you or anyone else. But instead of disparaging this legitimate feature request, why don't you start some new discussion topics about the features you want?

Trolling? That does seem to be the case with Lee Jay, doesn't it?

Because the features it (support for all files Bridge can handle) would displace are of interest to me.

Lee Jay is just trolling as some do. I am wholly for adding png support and I honestly am utterly amazed they haven't already.
The only reason I can think is that their software is so shoddy anyway they're playing catch up to make it work.

Since this feature isn't of interest to you, why spend so much time of your time on it? Many others here disagree with you. They would appreciate better file format support for images. I sure would.

Where would you stop it? The most useful files for me to add to LR are Word and Excel since I do my contracts in Word and my ordering is managed in Excel spreadsheets. Should LR manage those?

Once LR can "manage" all files, should it be able to show thumbs too? What about embedded metadata? Editing? Remember what happened with video. First we just wanted our videos imported. Then thumbs. Then thumbs from a selected frame. Then editing and exporting. Now people want more unlimited editing to include sharpening, noise reduction, and so on. And now we want better embedded metadata support.

All this comes at the expense of other features. Many of us are interested in the hundreds of other features - most much more useful to photographers than expanded file support - than a bunch of support for files LR can't handle and which can lead to the same slippery slope I described above for video. That slope was for one type of file. Expanding that to hundreds of types could lead to a lot of slippery slopes. And when you're all done, you've got Bridge, and none of the other features LR so desperately needs to support the photographic workflow.

That's why I'm opposed to this stuff. However, what I've said is that LR should be able to import any file type as an option (not by default) and do nothing with those files other than "manage" them - rename, move, delete. No thumbs, no editing, nothing else. If they'd do that and draw a line in the sand, I'd support that. It seems that's what the anyfile plugin does, plus thumbs.

Thanks, Martijn, for yet another vote.

Yes, it is "just plain dumb" that one or two individuals have spent so much time telling the rest of us that we are wrong. The fact is, many people would appreciate additional file format support in a future version of Lightroom.
