I am currently developing a little package, tumme.el, to browse images in Emacs. It is similar to thumbs.el but quite different too.
I have code that inserts thumbnail versions of images into a buffer, like this: (defun tumme-ins-img (file original-file-name associated-dired-buffer) "Insert thumbnail image." (let (beg end tags (i `(image :type ,'jpeg :file ,file :relief ,tumme-thumb-relief :margin ,tumme-thumb-margin))) (setq beg (point)) (insert-image i) (setq end (point)) (add-text-properties beg end (list 'original-file-name original-file-name 'associated-dired-buffer associated-dired-buffer 'tags (tumme-list-tags original-file-name))))) The problem is that if I rotate the thumbnail image (using the tools from ImageMagick), removes and inserts the image again, the image is fetched from Emacs' image cache. Therefor I need to clear the cache using `clear-image-cache' so that it loads the file from disk. Now, I know that this can be done in other ways. For example `insert-image-file' does not have this problem as it puts the image bytes into the text properties, while they way I use `insert-image' will insert the file name. I probably can change the code to work the way `insert-image-file' does, but I would rather like to, in some way, be able to flush one particular image from the image cache. Can this be done or do I need to write a more advanced piece of code? For now I will use `clear-image-cache' although it feels "ugly". /Mathias _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
