Yes -- we have to maintain the list of supported extensions manually :-( And 
since so few people actually use Krita to open raw images it gets very little 
maintenance :-)

CSV is in this case a spritesheet format. The QML export filter generates a 
basic QML file from an image. People have used it to mock up some basic games.

I've added that, I hope correctly...

Probably not: locating files on macOS with QStandardPaths is really broken, so 
Krita only finds the icc files it's packaged with.

I'm not sure about that.

Sure, that's fine, but...

I'd probably also need an explanation in text. I'm not super good at getting 
info out of videos.

Yes, that's fine.
