Release id #76571 : MultiColor V0.2.0
Ah really important and fundamental issue:
Version 0.1.1 of MultiColor used the prefix .koa for Koala files. Then somebody told me that .kla is the standard prefix for Koala. I checked one sample application: P1, which really uses .kla. That's why 0.2.0 can filter both prefixes and attaches .kla as default prefix if the user didn't choose one.
Some people asked me yesterday how can I have the crazy idea to use .kla as default.
Well, then I had a closer look and found this:
support koa: XnView, ConGo, GangEd
support kla: P1
support both: 0xPaint
Don't know about Timanthes. Can't get it running.
Are there any argument for *not* falling back to the .koa default in the next version? (of course .kla can always be chosen manually and when loading .kla the save button will retain this prefix)

so you wanna make the migration of p1/0xpaint users to your tool harder ? :) why frustrate them? filtering for both doesnt hurts anyone. (I mean in the open dialog, when saving it doesnt matter) |

yes, filter both when loading, use .koa for saving... sounds sane to me =) |

Of course! Sorry, I didn't explain it carefully enough:
- Koala-Filter sees both prefixes
- User can save "foobar.kla" if he wants
- If the user just saves "foobar" it will become "foobar.koa"
Okay? |

A quick search with google proves that the usage of .KLA is probably not a great idea, it's already an established extension for another file-format.
"KLARFF Map Data"
"KLARFF is a form of semiconductor mapping often used to map defects in a wafer."
A search for .KOA returns ... you guessed it, "Koala Paint C64 Bitmap" countless times.
