XCF update

July 12, 2006 3:32 pm Dave Neary gimp

After the small flurry of controversy last month about the GIMP’s XCF format, Henning Makhomlm (author of the excellent XCF tools) stepped up to the plate and wrote a complete spec for the XCF format.

It’s still a draft, awaiting feedback from any interested GIMP developers, but I have the feeling that no-one understands the format better than Henning, and this is already vastly better than what went before.

Every time a community member goes above & beyond like this, I really am amazed. This is a huge amount of work, and really well done.

    I grouched at the last post when the 4 page text file was mentioned as ‘documentation’, but this is bloody awesome. Excellent job Henning!
