Just to be on the safe side, I also copied this last line and called
up my MIME.CFG to add it, when Lo and Behold ! it was already there,
just a little bit different.
Huh ?
Did I already pick this up and work it out for myself, or was it
already in MIME.CFG as a default, just in case, (from Michael ?), or did
someone already ask the question and get an answer ?
(I am still using A1.66 for most of my routine work).
So, I looked at the line in MY MIME.CFG and saw:
image/pjpeg JPG>BMP|$edjpeg32.exe $j $1 $2
and further down, I saw:
; $j ... DJPEG arguments - ARACHNE.CFG variable DJPEGargs + color depth, etc.
so there is probably no need to set colour depth again, unless you
want to make it different from ordinary JGPs.
So, what about mention of DJPEG in MIME.CFG for A1.70rev3 ?
Nope. I just looked at MIME.CFG for A1.70rev3 and it ain't there.
So, it would make a good default inclusion, wouldn't it. And if it WAS
included with A1.66, why did it go missing in A1.70 ?
Regards,
Ron
