I just have pack and extract functions in my shell RC files that look at file extensions and use the proper tool with proper arguments.

Brilliant! As an apple engineer, I think I will do the same thing with image previews in iMessage! What can go wrong?

Who could have guessed that an ancient and forgotten image format suddenly gets that big of a revival.
