Hi Robert, hi all, Glad to see there's a half-solution. But I must admit I got more questions than before!
I guess UnrefImageAfterApply won't be called if I don't even display the scene, so how will writers behave? If they try to read image data, that won't work of course. But will they simply write the image filename, and will writeImageFile() simply do nothing with an Image having no data? Do you think it would be useful that we (or "I") create an osg::ImageProxy class? Derivated from osg::Image? Or is there something that already does it? This ImageProxy may be handled by image reader/writers by simply copying or ignoring the file (if there is no change in the file extension). And about the texture, should it call something like "bool Image::onApplied()" in UnrefImageAfterApply()? - For Images, it would simply return true, meaning the texture should unref the image, - For ProxyImages, it would unload the data and return false, meaning the texture must not unref. If you got better ideas, I'm all ears!
