1. Re: Pros and cons of 'smart preview' over ordinary preview?
areohbee Jun 12, 2013 6:28 PM (in response to nevetssf)Smart previews are not a substitute for regular previews, nor vice versa... - they're used for *totally* different purposes:
* regular previews: mostly library viewing.
* smart previews: mostly develop module (and exporting...).

2. Re: Pros and cons of 'smart preview' over ordinary preview?
nevetssf Jun 12, 2013 6:34 PM (in response to areohbee)Yes, that makes sense, but there is some overlap, at least the way I'm using smart previews.
They load very quickly because they're small, so for me they're often taking the pace of regular previews.
But I get your point that they have different purposes. I'll have to work with the smart previews for a while and see if generating traditional previews on import makes a difference, or if I can live with just smart previews.

Not much. Smart preview is unbaked substitute for raw file, used for develop/export (i.e. when rendering is done). Regular preview (aka library preview), is for a quick view - no rendering done.

I dunno about "taking the place" but it's true if photos are offline, regular previews will be created by rendering smart previews, instead of raw file.
