BPG Better Portable Graphics - a new file format
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I've just read about a new file format called .bpg
There are comparison between images processed as .bpg .png and .jpg on the inventor's websitehttp://bellard.org/bpg/.
At the moment it seems that conversion tools are command line and you need to include a small bit of javascript for it to display in a browser.
I would like to use it as the gain in quality is really worthwhile.
Any ideas about how to implement it in C5

That would do for the front end
But as they won't know how to open the file, backend functions such as file editing and thumbnail creation won't be available.
But the quality of the technology is extraordinary there is a tiny deviation between an uncompressed image and a .bpg a twentieth of its size.

I'm thinking that to implement this into C5, one way to do it would be to do these things:
1. Add ".bpg" to the list of "allowed file types" in the dashboard ( /dashboard/system/permissions/file_types/ ).
2. Include the javascript file in the header (or footer) of a theme (or you could probably do this using the "header extra content" page attribute.
As for the files themselves, just upload them via the file manager.
