[osg-users] osgDB::Archive - cannot add objects that lack a writer plugin

I am trying to store images (GIF, JPG etc) in .osga archive files. This works for image types whose plugin implements a writeImage() method, but for those that don't, there is no pathway by which to get the image into the archive. This is straightforward to demonstrate: osgarchive --archive

Hi Glenn, The .osga plugin relies on OSG plugins supporting writing and reading from istreams, not all loaders support write, let alone write to istream. Due to this limitation .osga is really not a general purpose container, its real purpose is to archive native formats. Robert. On Thu, Mar
