QOI support #1119

Open Keterion opened 2 months ago

Keterion commented 2 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No problems with the app, only was considering using qoi instead of png and there doesn't seem to be any support

Describe the solution you'd like QOI images being recognized and supported by the app

Describe alternatives you've considered Not using the format Look for other apps, there don't seem tk be any though

Additional context

deckerst commented 2 months ago

Never heard of the format. Is it used a lot in a specific field, like TIFF in the scientific world?

In any case, I don't intend to support niche formats, even if the format is supposedly better than the ones in use. It's like JPEG XL (cf #730). The app relies on the image codecs provided by the device (except for TIFF).

No, the format is pretty niche and not used in any specific field as far as I know. I guess support for it shouldn't be expected then.

Still thank you for developing the app and the fast respose though

QOI is interesting as it is similar to PNG in quality but is several times faster and the en/decoder can be written in around 300 lines of code.

There is also the QOA audio format as well. Which has similar benefits as QOI but for audio.
