Agree.

On a different note, If only Mari would integrate OIIO, and also support
mipmap for both import and export, It would save use a lot of disk space.
Generating ready-to-render texture straight out of painting package is very
useful. So doing it for Nuke would be great too, as long as performance
isn't affected.

my 2 cents.
Dave.
