El_Choni, thanks for a fabulous tool. I just downloaded the 2.3 version and compiled it for PB v4.0 b9, and it works great. only adds a couple k to the exe size too! Absolutely excellent imagedecoder, man. Thanks again.

Where can I get the plugin for PB 4.00?

The last download link works for PB4, using it now.

I have some problems with the plugin. So I use wxCmmImgPlugin. PNG doesn't work, but JPG and other formats.

What is the latest release from the OLEImagePlugin?
I use the lib from 29/03/2006 ... and have some problems
with catchimage and jpeg images.

I can't get the PPM decoder to work. It just fails when I try to load a PPM image.

The other decoders work okay.

Kind regards,

Francis.

I haven't solved the problem, but I seem to have found a workaround.

It would appear that the order that you call the various encoders and decoders matters. For instance, the following seems to work okay:

Code: Select all

UseEC_PPMImageDecoder()
UseTGAImageDecoder()

FileName$ = OpenFileRequester("Pick a PPM file", "", "Portable Pixmap File (*.ppm)|*.ppm", 0)

If LoadImage(0, FileName$)
  MessageRequester("", "Image loaded successfully")
Else
  MessageRequester("", "Failed to load image")
EndIf

Now if I swap the first two lines around it fails:

Code: Select all

UseTGAImageDecoder()
UseEC_PPMImageDecoder()

FileName$ = OpenFileRequester("Pick a PPM file", "", "Portable Pixmap File (*.ppm)|*.ppm", 0)

If LoadImage(0, FileName$)
  MessageRequester("", "Image loaded successfully")
Else
  MessageRequester("", "Failed to load image")
EndIf

Strange!

Does anyone else have this problem?

Kind regards,

Francis.

After a lot of playing around this arrangement seems to work:

Code: Select all

UsePNGImageDecoder()
UseEC_PPMImageDecoder()
UseTGAImageDecoder()
UseTIFFImageDecoder()
UseEC_OLEImageDecoder()
UseEC_IFFImageDecoder()

Any other arrangement that I've tried ends up with either the 'failure loading image' message with my example code or an 'invalid memory access' debugger error during the LoadImage().

*** Edit: I've discovered that with this arrangement I seem to have an intermittent problem when I load TIFFs. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Kind regards,

Francis.

Hi dige,

Those libraries that you posted are different to the ones I have, so maybe I wasn't using the latest versions.

Unfortunately it doesn't cure my problem. I still get the 'failed to load image' message using the following example code, where swapping the first two lines seems to correct it.

Code: Select all

UseTGAImageDecoder() 
UseEC_PPMImageDecoder() 

FileName$ = OpenFileRequester("Pick a PPM file", "", "Portable Pixmap File (*.ppm)|*.ppm", 0) 

If LoadImage(0, FileName$) 
  MessageRequester("", "Image loaded successfully") 
Else 
  MessageRequester("", "Failed to load image") 
EndIf

I thought that it may have been something to do with me running the x64 version of Windows XP, but I have now tried it on another PC with the 32-bit version of Windows XP and I get the same problem.

Kind regards,

Francis.

dige - can you re-post somewhere? I get an error message at that link (and I can't tell you what it says as I don't speak or read German!).

If anyone else has a link to the latest version of this lib please send it to me!

Thanks!
