When a RAW is developed and saved a new jpg (assuming exporting as jpg) in the same folder as the RAW and in the [Developed] folder. The only reason I can find in any documentation for the [Developed] folder is for faster display of the developed RAW file. This is a feature that should be an option and not required and is a main reason I don't develop in ACDSee as I don't want duplicate files floating around. Also, since I develop in a single folder and then move to a permanent folder I have to manually delete the [Developed] folder.
No other RAW converter I've ever used creates an additional jpg. All changes are in either a custom sidecar or the xmp and they don't seem to have any problem with display speed.
Can anyone explain why this should be normal procedure? Does anyone really rely on these duplicate files? Am I missing something?
