B ack in LXF205 and LXF222, we admired FLIF as a cool, smart replacement for lossless PNG. Although opening a FLIF image took substantially longer than a PNG, you still got a decent benefit in size reduction of around 15 to 20 per cent. FLIF has been declared obsolete, officially replaced by the far more advanced encoder JPEG XL. It combines several modes under one roof in such a way that you can convert your existing JPEGs, PNGs and GIFs into a single target format (JXL) regardless of their type. As such, JPEG XL knows how to handle photos, drawn artwork, screenshots and other sorts of synthetic imagery. You can use the standard CLI tools for encoding ( $ cjxl ) and decoding ( $ djxl ) your files, plus equip your Qt5 plugins installation with the unofficial JXL support plugin (http://bit.ly/3zVJPIQ).
