Artscript is a small app to easy convert from production file images(KRA,XCF,PSD,ORA,SVG) to universal formats(JPG, PNG, GIF or WEBM). If installed it uses gimp, inkscape and calligra in console mode to render PNG files in batch.
When attempting to run artscript on xcf.gz files (gzip-compressed xcfs), it fails, reporting 'format not supported'.
But since GIMP does the actual handling, there is no particular reason not to support compressed XCFs.
GIMP supports the following:
xcf (ie. uncompressed, which ArtScript already supports)
xcf.gz and xcfgz (gzip compressed)
xcf.bz2 and xcfbz2 (bzip2 compressed)
Additionally, development GIMP (2.9/git master) also supports
xcf.xz and .xcfxz (xz-compressed. best but slowest compression, same principles as LZMA used in 7zip.)
