Re: Support other file formats

Hello,

Just to add some context to this: qpdfview's code is currently
designed to be tightly integrated but straightforward and simple
rather than reuseable and extendable. IMHO, this would very much alter
the aim and scope of this project.

And while I agree that this is interesting functionality and I am sure
that the code base can be refactored in the necessary places, I am
personally not interested in treating these broader use case and
maintaining the the interface layers needed to support them.

Since this seems to be more about my personal interests than technical
feasibility, I would not try to stop this if there is an strong
interest in it by several people. I would rather just step down as
maintainer and let the project continue in this direction with a new
maintainer after the next release. (Of course, Alexander has in a
sense applied for job. :-))

So please use this opportunity to voice your opinion.

Best regards, Adam.

P.S.: I find PostScript support rather unimportant compared to DjVu
since PS-to-PDF conversion should be lossless. Am I missing something?
