Feature Request: Support for QOI image file format
Summary:
... I believe Inkscape should support the QOI raster image file format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QOI_(image_format) for bitmapped image import and export to raster image. I have been a user of Inkscape for over five years, and this relatively new (invented in 2021) and (IMHO) exciting file format has garnered quite a following. Several other image editors such as GIMP support it, and according to the benchmarks, for bitmapped images it is significantly faster to encode or decode, and often produces significantly smaller images. If it is too soon to add to the next release, I ask you consider it as a new feature to add to Inkscape in a future release.
Version info
The file format is frozen, and no mew versions will be issued. The reference specification and code sample in C is at https://qoiformat.org with other language implementations listed at its Github repository: https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi
