Heyho ACE, as explained in further detail this is the plan. sent will natively support only pure farbfeld images in the future. However a config array will be added where you can specify how to convert the formats you would like to use to ff format. All the ff-supplied conversion tools (currently there is only png, but I expect jpg and gif to be revived soon) and some compressed ff formats will be available through config.def.h default. So for using sent you will have to install the farbfeld conversion tools and then png will work like you are used to from the current state. --Markus
