Actually, I've now noticed that even when I copy some of Mike's icons out of the kit and then re-import them, they look uglier in the interface, even without my having edited them. Ben, what does DB do with images used as icons? Are there any tips in terms of size, etc. that would help DB handle images at its best?
Hey Carl et al., First of all, a note to apologize for the silence lately -- I've been swamped with other work over the past week and a bit so I've been a bit slow to respond. The image-handling code is probably some of the oldest stuff in the source tree, so I'll have to take a look at this, but I know what you're talking about and I agree it needs to be overhauled. I have noticed the same kind of "generational loss" in copying icons myself in the past, but have not as yet spent time trying to track it down. As I recall DB *should* be storing the full source image format (be it PDF or whatever) to facilitate clean copies, but clearly something is awry. Anyway, thanks for bringing this to my attention again, I'll follow up shortly. Haven't checked out your latest demo yet either, but I shall! More soon... hopefully a new beta by next week. Hopefully. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
