"It's about time!!!" -- Many users who keep pestering me for this I just finished about 90% of the code for adding 8-bit and 24-bit support to Paint.NET's PNG codec. Most of the work wasn't even in the PNG codec itself, but rather in adding IndirectUI support for FileType ...

Well, that title is certainly a brain-full and won't win me any search engine rankings for popular query terms. Anyway, Nidonocu had an important question he posted on my previous post about the "Do" class: This looks like this could be quite a useful class ...
