           Summary: Inline rendering/thumbnailing for Gimp XCF images
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
               URL: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikiball.xcf
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Images
        AssignedTo: [email protected]

Some images on Wikipedia/Commons/etc have been uploaded in Gimp's XCF format;
as a work format this is pretty good since it supports multiple layers,
editable text, various effects etc -- and Gimp is free software, so anyone can
download it and edit the source file.

However, we don't currently support in-wiki rendering of the XCF files, so you
need to separately upload a flattened PNG or JPEG file.

To save this extra manual step and simplify the workflow, XCF images could be
rendered by shelling out to Gimp, or with alternate loaders such as this
