Can my AI agent convert CUR to RL8?
Yes. Install the Filestar CLI with npm install -g filestar and your agent can run filestarcli -i file.cur -c "convert to rl8" on your computer, so your files stay on it.
A CUR file is a cursor image or animation used for the Windows mouse pointer. It may be an arrow (for general use), a spinning hourglass (for waiting periods), or an I-bar (for text editing).
The rl8 file type is associated with Windows Bitmap, a raster graphics image file format used primarily for storing digital images and graphics. Specifically, rl8 denotes a variant of the Bitmap format that uses 8 bits per pixel, allowing for 256 colors. It is commonly used in applications that require simple graphics with a limited color palette, such as icons, logos, and simple images. The .rl8 file extension indicates the file's adherence to this specific color depth within the broader Bitmap format family.
