if you could pick a standard format for a purpose what would it be and why?
e.g. flac for lossless audio because…
(yes you can add new categories)
summary:
- photos .jxl
- open domain image data .exr
- videos .av1
- lossless audio .flac
- lossy audio .opus
- subtitles srt/ass
- fonts .otf
- container mkv (doesnt contain .jxl)
- plain text utf-8 (many also say markup but disagree on the implementation)
- documents .odt
- archive files (this one is causing a bloodbath so i picked randomly) .tar.zst
- configuration files toml
- typesetting typst
- interchange format .ora
- models .gltf / .glb
- daw session files .dawproject
- otdr measurement results .xml
Nice, hadn’t seen this before. From the looks of the Ardour forum there is nobody currently looking at implementing the forum but they seem open to it. I would contribute but I only know python so probably not much use. I could write a ardour-dawproject translator in python but seems a bit pointless if someone goes and creates a proper implementation at some point anyway
