Description
## Requested feature
We could just open the `mergedimage.png` on import, which is the final result of the file.
### Possible drawbacks
Probably none for importing. Saving would a little bit more thought.
### Possible alternatives
Alternative would be to try to recreate the image from the 'stack.xml', but that's probably too much effort for no gain, as Drawing doesn't use layers.
## Use case
Some programs (like [Pinta](https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta), [MyPaint](https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint), [GIMP](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp) and [Krita](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita)), allow saving files in the [OpenRaster](https://www.openraster.org) format. Would be useful to be able to open those.

Research direction
No source file or test is named; begin by locating the existing image-import entry point and inspect how an OpenRaster archive exposes mergedimage.png. Done means importing an OpenRaster file displays its mergedimage.png result, with saving explicitly left for a later decision.
