While I don't carry around a video display device, these two sentences
started me thinking.

I don't know about PEF, but DNGs have a full-size (but wretched for
compression) JPEG in them, and these can be directly extracted.

draw -e *.dng

works from the command line just fine, and I'm sure there are other ways
to do this.  Which gives me a really useful, yeah, that's the whole
screen size (which is a quarter of the actual image size, so the JPEG
compression isn't an issue) thumbnail to go through and have opinions
about which of these is worth actually processing.

Is there a widespread sense that you're stuck actually processing all
the raw images, or at least firing up the full converter application, to
get some sense of what your pictures might look like?
