No "Clear Lightbox" option in PureRAW 5?

I used to be able to clear the Lightbox of the previously loaded RAW files and now I can’t find that option anywhere.

I used to be able to click on a RAW file in PL8 and “Reveal the image in finder”, then click on the image and “Open in” PureRAW, and now it will only do that if the Lightbox is empty. It will not open the selected file if there are previously loaded RAW files from a different folder in the Lightbox. It’s driving me bonkers.

If you have PL8, which can do all that PureRAW does and more, why are you using PureRAW?

Absolutely. PhotoLab includes everything that PureRAW does. There is absolutely no need at all to roundtrip via PureRAW

So you can apply different amounts of noise reduction to different areas of an image in PL8.5 with masks as well?

I wasn’t absolutely sure if PL8 would get the DeepPRIME 3 update right away, so I got PureRAW 5 just to have it. Waste of money, I’m sure, but what’s done is done.

That being said, PureRAW 5 seems to have removed the “Clear Lightbox” option that was available in PureRAW 4. I was able to “delete” the images from the Lightbox, but the missing button would have been quicker.
