I still wonder why they try to expand to some not-clear-yet markets. Their key product is Photoshop, and they should focus on key products in order to protect their market share, especially in current economic conditions. | browse SVG on Linux, for example, though Batik still lacks the dynamic | functionality (they made their own pretty effective scaled-back spec in | setting goals for their 1.0 release), and Croczilla is not very far | along.

And it should support sound, too (which is not supported by Adobe plugin at a moment) IIRC someone of KSVG developers suggested that KSVG should support sound via ARTS - than everything will work very smooth and sound will be of very high quality. | | Max | -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
