When I signed up for SmugVault my wish was to upload RAW files and make galleries of them. BUT I wanted to display them exactly as they show in the Lightroom Develop module. Is it possible? It would streamline my workflow to 100%!

It's not possible. SmugVault is for your secure permanent storage of RAW (and other non-JPG) type of files. But SmugMug doesn't use or read the sidecar info (your develop settings). You can use SmugMug's LR Plugin to upload your RAWs to a Vault and your processed JPGs from LR to the gallery.

To bad cause that would have been a very smooth way for me to work. But now I know how to use Smugmug. I use my other service to backup RAW files and Smugmug to display JPGs. Thx for extremely fast answers. – user490 Apr 6 '12 at 19:03

The way that images are displayed in the Develop module of Lightroom is with all of the Lightroom settings applied. These can be stored either within the Lightroom catalog or as a part of the XMP sidecar file. You can store your RAW files elsewhere, such as in the SmugVault, but it will not take any action on the XMP or catalog settings. You would need to export the images from Lightroom as JPEG or similar to see the develop settings.
