File Saving With Time Travel
A developer talk about coming up with a new file format for Drawpile
with the focus being on the findings and ideas that would be useful for
other programs as well. Some of those ideas are already implemented and
have brought a massive speedup in file saving and loading, some wilder
ideas like continuous autosave with history-altering time-travel are in
various states of currently still being worked on, but sufficiently cool
to talk about anyway.
