Yes, that's both true. Fl_Shared_Image::get() loads an image from a file and keeps its (file)name and resolution for reference. Loading it a second time increments a ref. count. You can even copy() the image with other resolutions, and Fl_Shared_Image will keep the copies with their resp. resolutions and refcounts. That's what I can say off the top of my head, but there's maybe more about it...
