| [Implemented] Reading QOI, "Quite OK Image" format 2022-09-15 10:02 |
Format reference:
https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi
Open-source plugin that I use in other programs (and in my JS project, to avoid errors in handwriting the quite small bit of logic there is):
https://github.com/pfusik/qoi-ci
Background:
I had some big images in BMP for speed, as reading them from HDD was faster than decoding big PNG.
Some time this year I converted them to QOI, which loads faster than PNG, saves considerable amount of disk space, and unlike PNG is further compressible for cold storage by 7z and such.
Recenly I loaded one *.pur that referenced some moved or converted files.
Folder/file relinking feature works well, but one image was one of those QOI, which is not yet supported in PureRef.
I restored a BMP copy for the time being.
Unlike all the currently "web-approved" formats like WebP or AVIF, if there is some format for local references worth adding, I think QOI is one.
I hope it does get added to all popular web-browsers and image editors at some point too.
Asking the developers would be the first step anyway.
