I had old patches implementing that, I just updated them and submitted them to the mailing-list.

I do not have samples with iTXt chunks. Do you have any, or can you suggest a tool to produce some?

tEXt and zTXt decoding implemented and pushed. iTXt still waiting for a sample.

Is there anything else you want? The details on your ticket are rather sparse.

I attached iTXt files i managed to create by hacking gif2png.

I'm also interested in iTXt support in encoder.

comment:6 by Cigaes, 11 years ago

Do you have actual use cases for iTXt? If the files are so hard to generate, that probably means it is not very useful.
As for me, I can say I do not see how to get it to fit the API.

comment:7 by Elon Musk, 11 years ago

They are not so hard to generate at all.
Speaking about API, the parts that can not be exported could just be ignored, as they are not very important.

Why iTHt? This is the only standard png chunk that allows utf8.
