--- Comment #7 from Tomaz Vajngerl <[email protected]> ---
We don't support adding new image formats as extensions AFAIK. It is also
problematic as I don't think a document rendering should depend if a extension
is installed or not (same with fonts, but at least the fonts can be bundled
with the document).
Supporting ORA and XCF IMHO doesn't make sense for different reasons. They are
very complex formats that can contain many things than just a simple raster -
like multiple layers that can be blended in various ways into the final image
and things like support for higher bit depth (32bit floating point) and color
spaces (CYMK). If we want to support such formats we would need to implement
those features just to properly show the final raster image - better not.
LibreOffice is not a raster editor so we should only support formats that are
meant to hold raster images in its finished form.
I'm sure we will add support for AVIF down the road, and hopefully also JPEG XL
when the time is right for those two (more support and better tooling
available).
