Description Fabio Correa 2008-01-04 19:24:40 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Hello, it would be nice if the Okular included a backend for the Gimp XCF file format. It would use libgimp's gimp_file_load() and gimp_file_save() functions, and load it as one of the already-viewable file formats.

This could save a lot of memory and processing power compared to loading an XCF file in Gimp only to view it.

Well, Okular is mostly a document viewer, not an image viewer.

KDE provides a Qt plugin for reading XCF images, so in Okular it should work when using the image backend (as it does here).
