Yes. This is because Python didn't have Bill Janssen's patches for quantize at that time. They are now part of python. In a earlier message I wrote: "The current PIL in the MSW installer doesn't have Bill's patches that were accepted into the newest PIL for quantize, needed for 8bpp images (in the python currently in the MSW installer, it will do 16bpp, but then skip down to 4bpp, to avoid 8bpp)". Sorry if that wasn't being clear. I sometimes don't fill in important details needed to get the full explanation. In psychiatry, they call that a "knight's move". ;-) > So my choices are either scrollable images OR color images, on a global > basis? At present, yes. For the future, fortunately, no. A new MSW package will test how Python 2.1 and the new PIL works out. This will do both. > Should I try switching image_parser on the fly in each channel - for > example to get resized color in news channels, but scrollable monochrome > Dilberts? You can do that if you like. Put the image_parser key in each of the channels' sections in plucker.ini, and have the image_parser= to the parser you want. When the plucker.ini is read, it will first read the [DEFAULT] and [WINDOWS] sections, but then any keys repeated again in the channel's section of plucker.ini will override those defined earlier in [DEFAULT] and [WINDOWS] Best wishes, Robert _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
