Please propose a new rationale for the prohibited formats to replace this example and a PR to remove this format and add the new rationale for the forthcoming 2.0.3.
@lexaknyazev please propose a PR. I want send revision 3 to the WG for approval as soon as possible so we can release a libktx with the typeSize fix, some DFD fixes and that allows these formats.
The current rationale says:
The fact that data layout is the same as with the equivalent
R8G8B8A8
formats does not seem to be a compelling reason to disallow the formats. Tools could be trivially updated to treat them as aliases and all operations would work correctly.The rationale for supporting them is to ensure that a KTX 2.0 file can be used to capture/replay a Vulkan texture initially created with a
A8B8G8R8*PACK32
format.
