Right. Which has been in the works for 15 years, only reached 0.5, and isn’t the native file format of anything(?). I wish the people writing image editing applications would take this more seriously, because to my mind the file format is more important than the application, but there you are.
- jakear 6y agoTrying to imagine a world where every text editor has their own proprietary character encoding and compatibility with other encodings is considered an extra... there’s something called UTF-8, but it’s been in development for 15 years without a stable release, and nobody supports it by default.
