Quote - As has already been mentioned, loading a file like an RSR an converting to PNG only takes a few simple lines of code to (1)recognise that the files are there, (2)verify that corresponding PNG's don't exist, if they don't then (3)load them, (4)strip the old headers and (5)replace them with PNG headers and (6)rewrite them as PNG files. Seriously, this is not a huge problem to be surmounted by even novice programmers.
You obviously haven't written an RSR reader*. I'll observe (again) that as they removed the code implementing this, it seems highly unlikely it will be put back in.
A second observation would be that the only reason content makers have been including RSRs is to support P4, and to do so they've had to convert the PNG thumbs created by Poser to RSRs (and in the case of some brokerages not include the PNGs until a few years ago so unnecessarily perpetuating the problem).
