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.

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.)
