It is more advanced as adding a script to a static page. TW is highly interactive and the "visual elements" can be redrawn anytime. ... So you probably will need a new widget, that can deal with your image format. FLIF will probably _never_ be supported by major browsers, since it is superseded by JPEG XL <https://jpeg.org/jpegxl/> which seems to be ISO standard now. According to the "tracking bugs" browsers are focusing on JPEG XL. There seems to be a FLIF browser polyfill, that can be used. ... I did play a little bit with the polyifll demo page. The advantage of the FLIF file format seems to be, that it can "partially" download the image and still show something. ... The polyfill seems to always download the whole file. .. So IMO there will be no advantage. The github-flif page says, that development has stopped <https://github.com/FLIF-hub/FLIF>. ... So for me it doesn't make too much sense to use this file format, except you absolutely have too. Is there a reason, why you want to use FLIF? ... Or is it just a "want to have"? -mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
