Done. Now you can use [Ctrl] + [S] / [A] to zoom in and out.
And i have forgot to mention, that you can hold [Ctrl] + [X] to hide selections.

Thanks for reply!
I will implement the zoom keys.

Hi!

I've needed a little tool. Well, it is grown to a little bit complexer thing. :)

The tool extracts sprites from a sprite sheet. Thats it. Nothing more. But it will save so much time
if you need some sprite resources for your prototype game project.

Hi!

I wonder if i've overseen something, cause i need a polygon function in 2Ddrawing, but it isn't there?
The vector lib is not perfect, cause i need the polys in combination with a pixel analyse of bitmaps.
Another problem is that i don't know before how many points the poly will have, so i need ...

Original image (2598 x 10732):

~294 ms - debugger ON with PureBasic FillArea() (faster?)
~310 ms - debugger OFF with PureBasic FillArea()

~515 ms - debugger OFF with BucketFill()

The fill functions of the GFX_Wizzard_BF
work with it, as well as with any images, limitless.
They are not based on PB functions.
A trick is used to keep the stack very small.
You can try it with the SpriteTool_BF from the download archive.

Thanks for reply stargate.

So, it IS a bug.

Nice and simple workaround.
It works perfect.
Thank you!

And i don't want to skip the FillArea() Function, cause its lighting fast.
Much faster than direct pixel replacement with DrawingBuffer().

Ok. I have playing around with the "bad" image that produces the stack overflow.
Also i've drawing a little red rect inside the same image and no bug will shown!?

Here you can see yourself. I think its a bug.

When i want to fill an image (size= 2598 x 10732)
with FillArea(_cx,_cy,-1,RGBA(0,0,0,0)) i become a
stack overflow or a silent ctd without debugger on. :(

My computer has 32 gigs ram and i have a geforce1050gtx.

Will the crash happens, cause the height of my image is more than 8192px ?
Smaller ...

That's weird cas, because it never happens to my desktops icons. I'm on Win 10 Pro with the latest updates.

BTW, I don't know if disabling the desktop redraw (temporarily) might help?

hWnd=FindWindow_("Progman","Program Manager")
SendMessage_(hWnd,#WM_SETREDRAW,0,0) ; Disable.
OpenFileRequester ...

This is not a bug, it is just the way that Windows OS works. Here are some explanations that i found with a quick google search that explain what is happening and how to possibly prevent it:

Yes, it makes no difference.
I've testet this before.

Thanks for reply.

Hm. Ok, this happens not only on my pc, how comforting. :|
The question is, if this is a windows 10 bug, and much more important,
if there is a workaround? Maybe some kind of temporary 'DisableIconRefresh' or anything?

I mean, this is a really, really annoying thing, in ...

Hi!

Simple question. Why does the first call of an OpenFileRequester() forces an icon refresh on desktop?
And how can i turn off this annoying flickering?

Hi!

I’ve found an old project by searching inside an also old harddisk.
Sadly I haven’t found the source-code (not yet). :cry:
But whatever, the program was at that time completed and it would be unfortunate not to
release it here once again with again working download link.
Maybe it can be useful ...
