Do you have an intermediary workaround in mind to use until this gets resolved? Thanks for the wealth of background info as well! Very interesting to see this unfold and at the same time I cannot stop but cry over software patents being a thing... ESPECIALLY for things like file formats. Real innovation stifling at work... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
