Tethering in LRC now importing RAW instead of JPEG

When I used to tether to LRC, it would import the photos as JPEG. Now all of a sudden it's changed to importing the RAW files instead. How do I change which format is imported when tethering?

I shoot RAW to my compact flash card and JPEG to my SD card - not sure if that is relevant or not.

It maybe. Can you change the camera settings to be JPG>Compact flash, and RAW>SD card, as a trial and see the result?

I have also read (I cannot remember where) that changing the "Playback" option to review camera photos changed the card that 'sent' photos via tether.

If you report your exact camera model, there may be others with experience of this question.

I managed to work it out earlier. I have always had the JPEG/RAW saving to
the cards that way, so it wasn't that that made it change from importing
JPEG to RAW all of a sudden.

It was the "Playback" option. I must have changed which card was being read
by my camera to display on the playback screen and that is what it seems to
use to import when tethering too.

I have two cameras and noticed that one would import as RAW and one as
JPEG. That was the only different setting between the two cameras. I
changed it back and now it's back to importing RAW again.
