I agree with your thoughts and frustrations regarding non-standard
file-formats, and the increasing plug-in mentality. I've been
pestering Impulse to add plug-in support for Imagine for some time
now, but have decided that I was wrong in requesting it. Actually,
it was Mike Halvorson of Impulse who eluded to how they plan to
structure WinImagine, that made me change my mind. Basically they
are looking at the stand-alone editor approach…having seperate
editors that can be purchased seperately depending on one's needs.
They would operate by themseleves, or work in tandem. It's not a
universal format, but at least it's a step in the right
direction…away from constrictive plug-ins.
