Hmm, I usually use
Fl_JPEG_Image* o=new Fl_JPEG_Image(file);
if (o && o->w() && o->h())
{/*loaded successfully*/}
else {/*some error occured*/}
It never failed so far on all the platforms I tested (Win/Linux/Mac).
So I don't really see why to add anything to the library, since it works
just fine like that, but ...
maybe having an global fl_image_load_error flag would be enough, if at
all? Something similar to errno but only for FLTK images? Seems simpler
to implement than Fl::option, or error_callbacks... just a thought, though.
Cheers,
