Tests / discoveries:

0. Added source code :-)

1. The new overrideable "true-TNT" check works (see shot #0 :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) )

> > ### Add "This program must be run in DOS mode" without override
> DONE.
It's with override ...

> you have tried it with Videoport driver patch for VESA in NTVDM
NO :shock:

> Under win98 ctmouse don't work for me but other things works well
MEVDM still comptetes against NTVDM :shock:

2. Increased bloat 233'668 -> 292'044 | 590'848 -> 752'128 - does the overrideable "true-TNT" check really cost 160 KiB ??? :-(

3. Minor BUG: "All supported files" works, just PCX missing

4. Flaw: directory cursor sits on dirs, not on files (see shot #3)

5. Flaw: Rat wheel doesn't work on directory

6. Silly "H" and "S" files visible OK

7. Multishot in BMP format seems to work (see 1'000'000'000 shots)

8. Save BMP doesn't work / not present (see below #76 and #78)

> > ## Add "Save image as 24 bpp BMP"
> DONE
COOL ... for shot only so far ...

9. Interlace not tested

10. Some PNG color models (binary) tested and OK

11. BUG : PNG with trans index "tRNS" is messy (PNG with Alpha seems less bad) (see file "TREETRAN.PNG")

12. Subminor flaw: some BMP's and GIF's don't work (not critical, but see below #73)

13. File format autodetection OK, but ... (see below #69 to #73)

14. Buttons are still messed (see below #78)

Wishlist:

## 66. Multifile modes, delete ALT-F3 (see 1'000'000'000 posts above)

> Aha, missed that. Why not to have it enabled by default?
## 67. Warn/inform about AGIF and APNG

## 68. Warn/inform about transparency 3-state: NONE INDEX/TRNS ALPHA (with or without support, or make support and background switchable)

## 69. Warn about missnamed files

## 70. Inform about file format & Co :


Name       : "BLAH.BMP"
Bloat      : 999'999 Byte's
Type       : PNG (missnamed)      (detect by Sigi)
Status     : OK                   (or "ERROR" if broken or unsupported)
Dimensions : 640x480              (only if "OK")
Details    : c2 d16               (only if "PNG" and "OK")
Animation  : NO                   (risk on GIF and PNG)
Trans      : NO                   (risk on GIF and PNG)
Colors     : 999'999              (only if "OK", count unique ones)


## 71. Detect supported file types and switch, rather than BRUTE-FORCE

## 72. Detect some more (unsupported) file types (TIFF, TGA, JPEG3000, PPMD, AVI, OGG, ...)

## 73. Instead of "Error loading image File" (see shot #4), give some more useful info:


'File "SELFSHOT.BMP" is unsupported and file type
could not be identified, try "GT2" or "MediaInfo"'

'File "SELFSHOT.TIF" was identified as TIF -
unsupported, try NCONVERT'

'File "SELFSHOT.BMP" was identified as GIF (missnamed), but
could not be decoded - broken or unsupported flavor, try NCONVERT'


## 74. Z O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O M algo's

## 75. Z O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O M strategies

## 76. New feature: Save picture as 24bpp BMP (besides shot, exactly as loaded, just always as 24bpp BMP)

## 77. Show (and possibly export into a file) metadata: EXIF in JPEG, comments in GIF and PNG, ??? in WeBP

## 78. Fix the buttons (see file http://jafile.com/uploads/dos386/duglicon.zip 3'722 Byte's) : better sorting (as numbered), BEGIN-vs-BACK NEXT-vs-END better distinguishable, removed "Open" (where did you pirate it from ? Windaube ??? :clap: ), replaced by "Load", added "Save" (see also ## 76.)

## 79. Replace the CWSD-stub (whines, see shot #0) by D3X

## 80. WebP
