This feature could be really useful in this way:
If you want to edit it, the raw is always opened and settings changed so it looks the same as the jpeg. With "looks the same" I mean in applied color curve, gamma etc. Not pixel-wise, as the interpolation done by the pc is better, but all other settings like white balance, curve, profile etc. should be read out of the raw file, if possible, so we can produce images that look like on the preview of the tft on your camera. Then, if you want to edit it again, it opens the raw file with the settings you (or the camera) used for the jpeg..
If this would work, it would be really great. Unfortunately, at least nikon's *.nef format isn't fully known yet, and how to read all options from it correctly. There is at least no opensource program doing it that the raw converted picture looks like raw converted with nikon's software, or the jpeg the camera would produce... If we(or rather the people coding, as I'm too stupid) would come to that point, it would be very useful to stack pictures, and save each jpegs/pngs/etc. settings and then reopen the raw with that settings to further edit it, without loosing quality.
