[Gimp 2.8] What does a .pat file containes excepte the image ?
#2
From what I can dig up, the pattern file contains very little apart from the image data

Code:
STRING    name    The pattern name
INT32    width     The pattern width
INT32    height     The pattern height
INT32    mask_bpp Pattern bytes per pixel
INT32    length     Length of pattern mask data
INT8ARRAY   The pattern mask data

Probably a .pat file originally tiled a bit faster than a png/jpeg since it looks like it is not compressed.

Patterns tend to large these days, I would just use .png or .jpg

You can open a .pat pattern as an image by right clicking on a pattern icon in the patterns dock.
