Why would one want to do that anyway? _________________ Michael J.

I thought to add instead the JPEG files with a .txt extension(the application have so much fewer MB). I know that there are alternatives like loading the pictures from a database or simple a folder.

I thought to add instead the JPEG files with a .txt extension(the application have so much fewer MB). You could write the contents of the .txt file to a temporary .jpg file and read that back in. It would be simpler to load the image from a JPEG file within the application package (under Mac OS X) or some external folder. _________________ Michael J.

Thanks I presume this is on Windows? Christian just posted that on Windows the images get converted to bitmaps, this doesn't happen on Mac OS, they remain JPEGs. This post details converting strings to pictures which may be what you are looking for: viewtopic.php?p=42928#p42928 I use one of the MBS plugins to do the same thing. _________________ Fly like a mouse, run like a cushion, be the small bookcase. http://www.wish-sandwich.com Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 5 posts ]
