Title: GIMP support for compressed XCF Post by: Udi on May 28, 2012, 01:48:08 AM I just realized something cool: GIMP supports (opens and saves to) compressed XCF files with the GZIP and BZIP2 compressions. I don't know since when, but GIMP 2.6 works and probably so does 2.8, but make sure you have the file-compressor plugin (http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4163) (I have yet to try the 2.8 release).
Here are some example compressions:
So I guess we can save a lot of storage and bandwidth if all the XCF files in the SVN would be compressed with either GZIP or BZIP2. Title: Re: GIMP support for compressed XCF Post by: GrosBedo on May 28, 2012, 07:16:18 AM Very nice!
If it's only a bzip2 compression, then I think someone can simply make a bash script to convert existing XCF files. This would be a lot more convenient that using GIMP (although I think that GIMP can also be used in batch).
