Libre can't even reliably update Word documents, which is literally the only thing I ever asked if it. I don't think MS is threatened by it, and I have no idea why you're going off on a free market tangent.
- LamaOfRuin 8y agoYes, this is a damning indictment of Microsoft's file formats.
- pjmlp 8y agoSomehow the openess of graphic formats does not make Gimp a better proposition than Photoshop, specially when handling color workflows on digital agencies.
- Dylan16807 8y agoAn image format mostly stores the end result of what you made. An office document format is basically source code. That's why the openness of a graphic format doesn't matter, but clear specifications on how to interpret an office document make an enormous difference.
- pjmlp 8y agoSomehow you missed the point that openness of graphic formats has not helped to make Gimp better than Photoshop, likewise even if Office formats were 100% open, Libre Office features wouldn't match Word.
- LamaOfRuin 8y agoNo, but it would allow LibreOffice to work with them cleanly which was the criticism I replied to (and probably allow Word to break itself less often or have 3-4 fewer implementations embedded in itself).
- Dylan16807 8y agoI didn't miss the point. I'm arguing that the two kinds of format are completely different. A graphics format is a side-effect of the actual editing, an afterthought. With an office document, the format itself is the core of the experience.
