9 years ago Also we need to read the entire file for base64 -> byte so we could not take advantage of a stream. For example a 40mb wav file gets into memory instead of streaming the file.
Xcf format is fine in case of providing additional meta informations, but the content area itself is very limited. Base64 causes ca +33% of the original size. We may should prefer some more binary format.
