           Summary: Multiple Network Graphics (MNG) support
           Product: koffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: koffice kde org
        ReportedBy: horkana maths tcd ie


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

It would be great if Koffice and in particular Krita (and karbon) support the \
Mulitple Network Graphics format (MNG) http://libmng.sourceforge.net
http://www.libpng.org/pub/mng/

Don't think of MNG as a complex animated file format, think of it as PNG with extras. \
 Currently there is no open standard for Layered Raster graphics.  Adobe PSD is the \
defacto standard.   MNG would provide a better way to share images with other \
software without needing to use PSD and without being forced to flatten images to \
single layered PNG files or JPG.  

It would be generally useful if KDE could view these files (even as purely static \
images) and it could be useful to other koffice applications like KChart, Karbon, and \
Kivio (maybe even Kpresenter) so that vector graphics do not have to be completely \
falattened when being rasterised.  

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79131
The gimp can currently export MNG but does not yet support import but in the future \
it will hopefully support importing at least as much as it export.  

(Tivia note: Macromedia Fireworks uses a custom multipage version of PNG for their \
native file format.) ____________________________________
