FLIF support?

It seems that XnView relies on libflif.dll for reading and writing the format. For some reason, this file is not included in the downloads for XnView Classic, but it comes with XnView MP. I was hoping that copying the DLL to the Plugins folder of v2.36 would allow me to open business_man_clipped.flif, but that didn't work.
Then Google told me about the following thread:

load (Encode's Forum » FLIF - Free Lossless Image Format) wrote:good news, got it working.

there were warnings when i compiled the x86 without SSE, but it still worked in xnview. however, here's a bunch of compiles (newest code from git)

- x64
- x86 SSE
- x86 SSE2
- x86 SSE3

just throw the libflif.dll into the xnview plugin folder, xnview can now read AND save FLIF files.

wow, although only one test file:

Code: Select all

test.webp   4'356'404
test.png    5'639'434
test.flif   2'874'966
