Re: [Gimp-developer] Windows Photodraw MIX files

If this ever happens, it will be in Gimp 2.10.34 at best, so coming to
your Gimp 2.8.8  which is about 9 years old, be prepared for a culture
shock. Why don't you upgrade? 2.10 is so much better...

Hi Gimp developers,

I use your GIMP 2.8.8 with full satisfaction, but:
Is there a way to open the good old Microsoft Photodraw .MIX files in Gimp?
And is it possible for your developers to include the .mix extension in Gimp?
Or is that a difficult operation?
Is there perhaps another way to import these files into Gimp?

In any way Gimp is a great program!

Not directly - it's a proprietary closed format as far as i can tell.

It'd need the specification and anywhere from a person-week to a
person-month, but GIMP is programmed entirely by volunteers in spare
time.

You may find Picture It or Microsoft Office can open the files and
export them into an open format such as SVG or PNG.
