P: Converting RAW photo to JPG in Lightroom without exporting

Yes Adobe please add this feature. It is a pain to have to export and reimport outside the software and creates a slow cluttered workflow. People need this feature for many reasons including sorting, reducing local and cloud storage, archiving and speed of access. Please add this feature. 

Hello, I could use this too. I shoot to RAW to keep pictures editable for some time but after some period I convert them into jpg to save space. This is pain right now since you loose all your album sorting, tags, people, everything. 

Having funcionality just to convert RAWs into JPEGs keeping all tags and albums would significantly improve my user experience.

Strongly agree! I actually just spent time looking in every nook and cranny in LR, thinking "There *must* be a way to convert some of my images to JPG to save space without having to export and re-import them! I would want to do this with thousands of my images, but by no means all, and they're scattered through many many albums. I actually would consider doing the export/import workflow, but can't risk having them losing their place in albums. So a "Convert in Place" feature would seem to make perfect sense. I wonder... if Adobe is going to introduce a plugins architecture, this might be something we could write a plugin for.
