As a side note, the 2ff-filter can also receive png-images and already automatically call png2ff when it detects a png. If you look at the 2ff script, you'll notice how simple it is really. My plan is, to, over time, add the other jpg2ff, gif2ff and what-not and slowly replace the imagemagick-fallback. Not everybody has imagemagick on his computer, but can still run 2ff depending on what he passes to it. imagemagick may be a sucky program as is, but just as with surf to access the web, I see 2ff like a glove to touch all these diseases image- formats (like png, gif, jpg, tiff, ...) not having to worry about them while working with the actual data. I again want to stress here that I've been dealing with libpng for almost 2 days now and I've still not found a satisfying general way to handle 16-Bit PNG's properly. The interface can be compared to the 6th circle of hell. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <d...@frign.de>
