...which would probably mean a dramatic rewrite of the Makefile linked above.
I'm not for abandoning one in favor of another, just adding another that will handle raster images. I looked into Makefile and it seems pretty simple to generate another for raster images, where simple doesn't mean not a lot of work, but not too much research. I can't say much about support for Gimp XCF files, as I didn't look into Gimp command line, nor its programming interfaces. (There is few.) ...
2) Practical Vector graphics are infinitely easier to scale, from the tiniest resolutions to the highest.
Agree.
The elements are all easy to move, ... that's hard to do unless you're making Rasters at what I would consider to be 'stupid' resolutions (3000+ in each dimension)
Photos this days could be bigger then 3000px. (My pocket Nikon has 14 Mpx and picture will be above 3000 px. If I recall correctly it is above 4000 px horizontaly.) With well defined targets it is much easier to think about Flickr instructions, although good part of them will end in the wiki as one needs examples of cropping to screen formats, so that potential contributors know in advance what can be used for distro. I'm thinking of some kind of mask that can be imported as a layer(s) and anyone with Gimp will know what to expect.
the ease of managing, modifying, and reusing the elements is also important ...
Agree.
It's also a simple case of flexibility - some applications require SVG, most support Raster, ...
Application requirements are different, so it can be listed, for instance in the wiki.
I hope that clears things up
A lot. Thanks for the effort to write explanation, and to point out important files. For instance I didn't check Makefile before, considering that is not important for whole branding. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
