Comment (by stippi):
I tend to agree with richienyhus. Maybe the functionality to upload PNGs
at all should be stripped from the web app. But the problem then is that
the web app would need to generate PNGs from the HVIF icon files, and that
is quite a programming challenge. All the HVIF code would need to be
ported to a POSIX library that can be integrated via JNI at least. Porting
to pure Java would be even more work, since the not only the HVIF, but the
AGG code is needed, too. So uploading PNGs remains a necessity for the
web-app, but it should probably be viewed as such.
