Jon,
At this point, the Image object can not handle jpg files. I have plans to
incorporate GDI+ into ooDialog, and in fact already have the code that
initializes GDI+ properly in the code base. Commented out for now.
Here is a little test program output:
C:\work.ooRexx\feature.requests\GDI.plus>showDecoders
image/bmp
image/jpeg
image/gif
image/x-emf
image/x-wmf
image/tiff
image/png
image/x-icon
C:\work.ooRexx\feature.requests\GDI.plus>
So those are the image types that could possibly be supported.
As for time frame, I currently have all the ooDialog doc done, for
the major ooDialog release, except for 2 chapters. I think I'll get that
done mid-May, start a regular beta then, and hopefully have the official
release out by the beginning of June, mid-June.
If that goes as outlined, I would then start coding new features around
June 1. Which features, could be guided by user input, although it is
difficult to get user input. If you are requesting jpg support and no one
else is speaking up, then incorporating GDI+ might be the first thing I
start.
These are the major areas for possible enhancements that I'm interested
in. If I get some feedback as to which areas people would like to see
next, then I would probably start with that:
* Add missing dialog controls
Tool tips
Status bars
Rich Edit
Tool bars, etc..
* Update existing controls to Windows 7 levels
List views (obvious place to start)
Tree views
etc..
* Enhance / extend Image support
add GDI+, etc..
* Implement resizable dialogs in native code
