The engine code is unaware of them. Nothing in the engine links against e.g. libjpeg or libpng. Typical module developer expectation is that GIF, JPG, and PNG files are understood, being common and universally available, but this is up to the frontends. ___ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page

The wiki refers to “Image modules’. What are these? Are they different to what Karl describes?

His point is just that the images are simply binary blobs to the engine that come along during the download. The module content as processed by the engine then references those binary blobs in whatever way is appropriate (e.g. a ThML module will use tags, OSIS will use its equivalent, etc). The engine doesn't care what the binary blob is, that's the job of one of the front ends, and will typically be farmed out to whatever display utility that front end uses (e.g. to webkit, chromium, etc). So, Sword itself doesn't need to do anything to support any individual format. That's something for the front ends to figure out. And, until someone tries to use a format, no one is likely to put in effort to support one that doesn't come for free, already, with their toolkit of choice. --Greg > > David > > Sent from ProtonMail Mobile > > > On Fri, Apr 24, 2020 at 21:01, Karl Kleinpaste > wrote: > > On 4/24/20 2:48 PM, David Haslam wrote: > > Any plans for SWORD to support HEIF ? > > > Sword proper does not really "support" any particular image formats.
