Yes, sure, you can save it. Otherwise, it could not be in a KWord file. But 
only in its own format (in a few QT sub-versions) and in SVG. (I do not know 
the quality of the SVG output.)

However while looking at the code, the trick is to use QPicture::play on a 
QPaintDevice, which could be a generator for another file format. However it 
seems that you would need to use many public but undocumented features.

I have the felling that you are going to write: "But then we can decode it." 
Well, perhaps.

Any volunteer for a QPicture to Karbon filter? (As for a mime type for 
QPicture, it could be for example "image/x-vnd.trolltech.qpicture")

Have a nice day/evening/night!

In fact it is not QT 2.2 but QT 2.1. (the QPicture format has not changed 
between these versions.)
