AfA OS 4.7 interference with IconEdit 44.19
« on: May 01, 2010, 10:02:54 AM »
I was trying to change icon types using IconEdit v44.19 tonight and discovered that I could not save icons.  As well, I noticed that the "selected" image would not load and the Old Icon images were corrupted.

I rebooted and disabled AfA OS with the LMB, and I could use IconEdit normally.

What should I be looking for here to help with more in-depth troubleshooting?  Has anyone else experienced this oddity?

I have also noticed that there are times when GlowIcon images are corrupt when selecting before I release the mouse button.  Again, disabled AfA OS and the problem goes away.

A4000D, PIV/P96, CSMKIII, OS3.9 BB2, AfA OS 4.7.

The problem is the AROS Picture dataype does not contain Code to save a iff image.
so programs that do this fail also on AROS.

but there are not important programs out that do it, so nobody add it.

normaly somebody with IFF image save knowledge and datatype knowledge should add it to AROS.


Interesting.  I would have expected it to translate across.

If its important for you to use IconEdit, you can remove AROS picture datatypem but then you miss alpha support.


I only use it on GlowIcons, so I am not missing alpha.  I have not gotten around to playing with PNG icons, yet.  I have created a few using GIMP, but that is all.

have you a screenshot ?.look if this happen on always the same icons.
maybe there are some Icons out that AROS iconlib show wrong.

but when you send me the icon i can maybe fix that if there is problem


I will work on getting a screen shot for you.  Most likely around Sunday-ish.  I am about to end a 23 hour day :)
