Photodesk runs and saves correctly from Resources:$.Apps - what I said above is WRONG. 2. Photodesk will save Sprites and Tiffs (I haven't tested other formats than these and JPEGs as I don't use them). 3. Photodesk will save JPEGs /providing/ the 'Optimise' box is not ticked. If the 'Optimise' box is ticked, the save will invariably fail with the 'insufficient memory (case 4)' error message referred-to above. The quality percentage selected is not a factor either way, as far as I can establish. This is not a bug in Photodesk; I've made the same tests on my Iyonix without encountering the insufficient memory issue. Whether it's a peculiarity of RPCEmu in general or my particular installation, remains to be determined. There was no difference in the behaviour of 0.8.8 and 0.8.9. on this system. I didn't test on 0.8.X/5.17 because Photodesk will not install on a HostFS drive.
