OptiPNG - TODO list =================== - Compression improvements: Use zlib's deflateTune(). Use 7zip's powerful deflation engine. (This is not possible with libpng, so a custom encoder is needed.) - Speed improvements: Avoid repeated filtering when trying a filter value more than once. (This is not possible with libpng, so a custom encoder is needed.) - Text chunk optimization: Smart selection between tEXt and zTXt. Similarly for iTXt. - More file recovery features. - Optimization of an entire directory, with and without subdirectory recursion: optipng dir/ optipng -recurse dir/ Currently it is possible to optimize an entire directory as: optipng dir/*.png provided that file globbing works, either at the shell level (Unix) or in the program (linked with wildargs.obj on Windows). - Improved support for reading external image formats (e.g. compressed BMP; compressed TIFF; other image formats). - Support for conversion to a desired bit depth and color type: optipng -b16 -c6 ... - Support for chunk-level editing: optipng -add text ... # add chunk optipng -upd text ... # update (add/replace) chunk optipng -del time ... # delete chunk optipng -del visual ... # delete tRNS, gAMA, sRGB, ... optipng -del nonvisual ... # delete all but tRNS, gAMA ... optipng -del textual ... # delete tEXt, zTXt, iTXt, tIME optipng -del nontextual ... # delete all but tEXt, zTXt ... optipng -del gif ... # delete gIFg, gIFt, gIFx optipng -del private ... # delete all private chunks optipng -del all ... # delete all ancillary chunks - Parallelization on multi-processor/multi-core systems. - A nice GUI.
