Now that Adobe will not let anyone use anyform of Fireworks, I need a solution in opening and exporting existing Firework png's but preserving their layers in both -import/export?

Photopea imports with layers but flattens when saving (exporting).

rayek.elfin

That is incorrect.

When the file is saved as a PSD from Photopea all layers are kept intact.

Fireworks layered FW.PNG file opened in Photopea:

Photoshop PSD file exported from Photopea:

rayek.elfin

Photopea (an online Photoshop clone) loads layered FW png files and allows you to export as a layered psd file for import into other apps.

The conversion is not perfect: vectors are, I believe, converted to bitmap, for example.
