Possible to support Big-endian and 32-bit platforms?

Note

Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023 until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.

The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/possible-to-support-big-endian-and-32-bit. No crawler ever captured this particular thread, so the text below — taken straight from the forum database — is the only copy left.

Answers may refer to older versions of Ansel, and image attachments did not survive the shutdown. Current discussion happens on GitHub Discussions .
