I just found out
that a TPicture always stores its data as a bmp.
I create an Image
and save it as a nice small JPG (80 K), and then load it into a TPicture on a
Delphi form (lets say, a Splash screen) and suddenly the DFM is 1.3 meg, and the
resulting exe is 1.7 meg.
Is there any way to
get a TPicture to store its data in the raw imported format?
Is there any other
way of doing this (resources?)?
I know that I could
load the JPG at run time but that means another file to deliver which could
easilty be deleted (especially if the user is anything like
me...).
