trippdoctor Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I was thinking about the APNG file format thinking how much better it is compared the old GIF and was wondering like how hard it would be for paint .NET's developers to integrate this into paint .NET also with the ability to edit and make animated GIF's.

Crazy Man Dan Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 From the FAQs Can I make animated GIF's with Paint.NET?No, sorry. Paint.NET is not an animation program. As far as I know, Rick has no plans to add even animated GIF functionality. Paint.NET does have an extensible file type architecture which allows programmers to support new file types, and I know that animated GIF has been tossed around a lot, but no one has publicly announced their intent to create it. So, I doubt APNG will come along any time soon. Not to mention that only a handful of programs support APNG right now. It is, however, possible that some knowledgeable and good natured soul will make one in the future.

trippdoctor Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 well I was experimenting with Mozilla's APNG make and love it compared to the old gif I think an APNG is better than the MNG. The reason i am wondering is because I know C++ still a newbie with it but was wondering if any knew any thing about the APNG format because I was thinking about trying to make an APNG editor and was then going to try and integrate it into paint .NET.

trippdoctor Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 come on APNG is a better format than MNG and no one here knows nothing about the APNG format. Quote Trippdoctor | PDN Fanatics | Get Paint .NET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman's Friend Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 At the moment, the only software that supports APNG is Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta. Only time will show if other browsers will get support for it. For example, JPEG 2000 didn't replaced JPEG, and there are no signs that HD Photo will. PDN is as said no animation program. But everybody is allowed to build a plugin for AGIF, APNG, MNG, SWF or whatever. At the moment people are maybe not that much interested in a format with very unknown future.
