I think this “Apple-like” library system is not a good solution, why can’t users just click on the .LFP file and simply open it in file explorer with associated “Lytro Viewer” just like other image files?
I also wonder why is such a problem to find and download free .LFP samples at least directly from the Lytro shared gallery …this is not the best way to tease people
