Yes. Disk space isn't expensive these days. But it's also about bandwidth. The files don't magically appear on your cheap harddisk. ;-) To annoy you all even more. Here's the latest comparison: The directories Aircraft/, Models/, Scenery/, Textures/, and Textures.high/ once as they are in CVS, and once with all *.rgb, *.rgba, *.RGB optimized. Makes a difference of no less than 34.2 MB that we are wasting now with redundant information. This could be saved alone with better lossless compression, without changing the image information one bit. In the case of SGI files, you can't save anything with using less bits per pixel & layer, because the SGI image formats that supported this are declared obsolete, and neither plib, nor blender, nor gimp, etc. can work with them. Internally, plib always uses one byte per pixel and layer. m. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
