PaintDotNet/pdn files

Hello I just downloaded GIMP and I've mainly worked with Paint.Net so most of my work is saved on a pdn format, is there any way you can make it so that GIMP can read those files? Or a way of converting each file at least would be nice. Because from the looks of it you can read Photoshop files, so why not pdn?

Thanks,
From Scott

Hi Scott,

Simply put, so far nobody needs PDN support so much that he/she would work on this feature.

As far as I can tell, Paint.NET is capable of reading/writing OpenRaster files (at least via a 3rd party plugin), and OpenRaster is what free software like GIMP, Krita, MyPaint and others use to exchange multilayered project data.
