What it is

PXF is associated with Pulse native embroidery workflows and likely stores design information beyond raw stitches.

Satin Studio direction

Research depends on samples and partner/user demand.

Versions and variants

PXF is a native working format. Version and object-model details need fixtures before support planning.

File identification notes

Exact structure is unverified here.

Observed structure notes

• PXF remains a native-working-file lead. No reliable public byte structure is established here.
• Expect object, thread, and generated-stitch sections rather than one flat machine stream.

Structure sketch

PXF is a native working-file lead. It should not be decoded as raw stitches before its object model is known.

struct PxfCandidate<'a> {
    version_or_header: &'a [u8],
    object_sections: &'a [PxfSection<'a>],
}

struct PxfSection<'a> {
    kind: Option<&'a str>,
    payload: &'a [u8],
}

What we still need

Fixtures and source-object mapping research.
