In file tcl/bitmaps.tcl I have found a piece of code which presumably
use tkimg package (I am not a programmer)
if { [catch { package require img::png } ] } {
set png_image_support 0
::splash::add "Img package not found (tkimg). Some piece sets are disabled."
}
If I comment all above lines of code then scid works even in the
presence of the tkimg package. As far as I understand presence of the
img::png package should be checked only if tcl version less then 8.6.
I propose to write more sophisticated check for png support which also
check the version of the tcl interpreter.
Best regards,
Mikhail Kalenkov.
