Quote - I'm curious. If the new library is using IE, how much of the library is IE? Is that why it can't convert RSRs? 

It can't convert RSRs simply because SM decided to remove the code that looks for RSRs, not because they couldn't be converted.

This is a complex subject and actually requires additional information about the future plans for the library that I cannot discuss.

The simple (and limited) argument is they don't want the software looking for RSR and PNG files - it wastes time. The code to convert RSR to PNG could have been left in and the GUI could show them, but if the software won't even LOOK for RSR files, then there is no point in showing them, since none will be found.

There is nothing preventing the creation and release of a free tool to convert all RSR to PNG in one click. I don't have time to write this, but others have/can/did/will - including perhaps SM.
