Hello, I recently downloaded Krita and am seeking to use it for animation, and I need to import a file I have been working on for some time.

When I attempted to import the file I couldn't find the file type, which is apparently a proprietary type, called .rli.
I believe this will be helpful, there's a section on importing from .rli but I have no idea what half of it is talking about.. http://www.rw-designer.com/rli-specification

I can save the file in a few different file types from the program this comes from, called "RealWorld Cursor Editor", but I am new to all this and have no idea what file type to work with, as I need to be able to preserve frames and layers in each, as I need to still be able to edit them.

My main concern is not having to start from scratch, or not loosing data because I use the wrong file type when importing or flattening the images or something.

My main questions are:
What file types are compatible for multi-layering, and frames, and transparency and so on?
And;
How do I import a frame on it's own? I was told by someone I may just have to import frames individually, and that would be fine, but I'm not sure how to do that.

If anyone can help that would be appreciated.

This was discussed before I think? You will be able to use psd to move the layers from that program, but the specification would need someone to actually program an import filter for it in c++. You can make a wishbug for that on the bugtracker.

Thank you for the reply!
Where may I find the bugtracker? I'm not to certain how I would do that, I'm very new to this and would love a bit of direction.
Also, It seems I'm unable to save the file in .psd, I even tried opening it i gimp which seemed to recognize it, but it says it's not a valid file, RWCE doesn't have the option as well.

If someone could provide a link to help me find the wishbug thing it would be appreciated.
