Hi, > Do you really need that embedded liborigin? The development of this code was originally initiated in LabPlot and got later contributions from other projects. A library was created. It is/was used for the import of Origin files. At the moment we don't import anything but ascii files. However, at some point we maybe have to pick up this code.
I'm not a big fan of providing import/export-stuff for proprietary file formats in open-source software. To be honest, I want to convince the users to use LabPlot by the quality of the software in general and not by the quality of import-filters for some fancy windows software that is very often used out there. But if there are to many requests for this feature in the future, we'll probably revive this dead code. The code can be downloaded from [1]. So, maybe you're right. We can kill this code in the repository until we decide to use it later. And if we decide to use it, we should decide whether to use it as an external shared library or not.
