We have a rash of entries in vecs.c that contain the format extension as a parenthesized expression in the description name. I don't think this is how we want this to work. My original plan (and I now realize this was flawed...) was to have the extension in the following field and things reading our lists of formats could use that to set filename extension masks or such on a read and perhaps offer hints of filenames on write. I'd like to sweep through vecs.c and for every description that ends in "(.foo)" and has a following line of "foo", remove it from the description for consistency. If an application wants to display the extension, it's free to do so from the extension field. Objections? RJL |
