The GDI+ ones don't work... They work for "small" files, but if the file size (not the image size!) is larger than a limit that seems to be around 60 KB, loading fails... See bug #552678. This is a mystery. It can be reproduced even with a freestanding sample program, so it isn't likely that it would be just a consequence of some heap corruption or similar bug in GTK+ > Why would anyone want to minimize the _number of files_ in a GTK > runtime package, as opposed to the size in bytes of the package? There are now and then people who whine about how many files are needed now and then on IRC. But sure, they are misguided. Another benefit of having the loaders built-in is that no gdk-pixbuf.loaders file is needed, so there is less chance that people edit it (even if there usually is no need to) and make mistakes, or misplace it. But I admit I don't have any *really* strong preference. If it really is so that the majority of people who distribute GTK+ apps on Windows would prefer that the pixbuf loaders were separate DLLs I can return to that. Is there anybody out there who prefers having built-in loaders? --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
